Loco Lake is a lake in Lake County, Oregon.
Use the shape you can see at Loco Lake: check the best cover, the first drop, and one open-water line before moving.
Fish listed for Loco Lake include Brown Bullhead, Brown Trout, Largemouth Bass, Rainbow Trout, Tui Chub, and Yellow Perch.
During a cool spring morning near a small drop before changing areas, keep a small jig tipped with a worm or minnow close to bottom on a shelf for yellow perch.
During a slow shoreline pass near the edge of deeper water before changing areas, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
During a methodical search near a protected point in stained water, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.
During a cool spring morning near a quiet corner while the water is falling, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
During a low-light period near a quiet corner after a cold night, Other targets listed here include Brown Trout; give each one its own bait and depth instead of trying to catch everything with the same rig.
During a cool spring morning near a protected point while the water is falling, use wind as a clue; a light push can carry food toward a bank, but hard wind may muddy it, so look for a clean edge near a point or protected pocket.
During the final pass near a shaded bank where two features meet, Early in the year, protected water and the first warm afternoon can be the best clues; as the water heats up, check deeper edges without assuming every fish is on the bottom; cooling fall water often makes points and firm banks useful again.
During a return to the best bank near a clean gravel patch after a cold night, a light spinning rod, thin line, a few small spoons, inline spinners, and jigs cover the listed trout; carry one slightly heavier setup when other fish or windy water call for more control.
During a quick scouting pass near a creek-side turn near visible bait, record the wind, water color, depth near the strongest cover, and cover after a bite; those four notes are more useful on the next trip than a long list of spots that did not produce.
