Magone Lake is a lake in Grant County, Oregon.
No reliable acreage is listed for Magone Lake, so begin with visible cover and the first clear change in depth.
Fish listed for Magone Lake include Black Crappie, Brook Trout, Channel Catfish, Common Carp, Redside Shiner, Smallmouth Bass, and Tui Chub.
During the final pass near a soft-to-hard bottom change close to shade, fish a small jig or minnow around wood, weeds, and sharp little drops for black crappie.
During a slow shoreline pass near a narrow cove before changing areas, drag a tube or Ned rig across rock and the hard edge of a point for smallmouth bass.
During a short evening pass near a shallow shelf near firm bottom, fish cut bait or a nightcrawler on the bottom along a channel edge or warm flat for channel catfish.
During an overcast morning near a shaded bank in clear water, place corn or a dough bait on the bottom along a shallow flat for common carp.
During a methodical search near a small drop after a cold night, 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.
During a warm summer afternoon near a channel bend near visible bait, start where two things meet: weeds and open water, rock and mud, a point and a drop, or clear water and dirty water; fish that edge at more than one depth before leaving it.
During a cold winter outing near a small drop before changing areas, 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 methodical search near a quiet corner in clear water, 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 an overcast morning near a channel bend in clear water, record the wind, water color, depth where the lure was hit, 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.
