Lois Lake is a lake in Deschutes County, Oregon.

Fish listed for Lois Lake include Brook Trout, Cutthroat Trout, and Rainbow Trout.
During an overcast morning near a narrow cove under flat light, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
During a careful second pass near the edge of deeper water in stained water, do not let the deepest number control the whole day; nearby cover, firm bottom, and food usually matter more than the deepest hole by itself.
During the final pass near a rocky edge in stained water, spring fishing starts with warming banks, creek mouths, and shallow cover; summer usually pushes the better bite toward the outside weed edge or a nearby drop; fall can bring bait back to windblown points, while winter calls for smaller moves and a slower pace.
During a low-light period near the edge of deeper water under flat light, 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 the final pass near a protected point in clear water, record the wind, water color, depth of the first bite, 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.
