Meadow Lake in Deschutes County is a lake in Oregon.
During the start of a weather change near a clean gravel patch with stable weather, no reliable acreage is listed for Meadow Lake, so begin with visible cover and the first clear change in depth.
Fish listed for Meadow Lake include Brook Trout, Brown Trout, Cutthroat Trout, and Kokanee Salmon.
During a steady fall day near a soft-to-hard bottom change near firm bottom, work a small minnow bait, spoon, or streamer along cool breaks and moving water for brown trout.
During a slow shoreline pass near a creek-side turn 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.
During a slow shoreline pass near scattered wood 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 a careful second pass near a clean gravel patch where two features meet, 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 bright afternoon near a firm-bottom flat with a moving bait, 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 narrow cove with light wind, record the wind, water color, depth where fish bit, 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.
