Lorens Drift Pond is a lake in Tillamook County, Oregon.

No reliable acreage is listed for Lorens Drift Pond, so begin with visible cover and the first clear change in depth.

Fish and Baits

Fish listed for Lorens Drift Pond include Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, Cutthroat Trout, Largemouth Bass, and Rainbow Trout.

During the start of a weather change near the first break near firm bottom, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.

During a cool spring morning near a creek-side turn with stable weather, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.

During a calm morning near a shallow shelf where food is present, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.

During a bright afternoon near an open-water edge with a moving bait, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.

During a quick scouting pass near a shallow shelf in stained water, Rainbow Trout have also been stocked here; that proves fish were released, but it does not promise that they are still common or easy to catch.

How to Read the Water

During a careful second pass near a clean gravel patch after a cold night, Make one shallow pass and one deeper pass on the same shoreline; that shows whether fish are tight to cover or using the first break.

Season by Season

During the first hour near a creek-side turn while the water is falling, spring runoff can add color and pull fish toward fresh water; green weeds and the first drop become stronger summer targets; in fall, follow bait toward points and shallow flats, while winter rewards a slower search.

A Simple Tackle Plan

During a slow shoreline pass near a shallow shelf beside useful cover, 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 slow shoreline pass near a windblown shore in clear water, record the wind, water color, depth along the active edge, 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.
