New Lake is a lake in Coos County, Oregon.
No reliable acreage is listed for New Lake, so begin with visible cover and the first clear change in depth.
Fish listed for New Lake include Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, Cutthroat Trout, and Largemouth Bass.
During the first hour near a shallow shelf away from empty shoreline, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.
During the final pass near a rocky edge under flat light, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
During the first hour near a clean gravel patch before changing areas, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.
During the start of a weather change near a small drop after warm rain, 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 short evening pass near a rocky edge near visible bait, 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 the final pass near a creek-side turn 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 a check of nearby water near the edge of deeper water while the water is rising, record the wind, water color, depth that produced twice, 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.
