Sturgeon Lake is a lake in Oregon, near Multnomah County.
Sturgeon Lake is a lake in Multnomah County, Oregon.
No reliable acreage is listed for Sturgeon Lake, so begin with visible cover and the first clear change in depth.
Fish listed for Sturgeon Lake include Black Crappie, Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, Common Carp, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pikeminnow, Smallmouth Bass, Rainbow Trout, and Yellow Perch.
During the final pass near the downwind side in stained water, keep a small jig tipped with a worm or minnow close to bottom on a shelf for yellow perch.
During a careful second pass near scattered wood with a moving bait, fish a small jig or minnow around wood, weeds, and sharp little drops for black crappie.
During a steady fall day near a small drop in stained water, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.
During a methodical search near a shaded bank where food is present, drag a tube or Ned rig across rock and the hard edge of a point for smallmouth bass.
During a careful second pass near a shallow shelf with stable weather, Other targets listed here include Largemouth Bass, Brown Bullhead, Rainbow Trout, and Common Carp; give each one its own bait and depth instead of trying to catch everything with the same rig.
During a calm morning near a small drop with a moving 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 careful second pass near the outside weed line after a cold night, 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 quick scouting pass near a windblown shore 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 a steady fall day near a protected point in clear water, record the wind, water color, depth where the bait worked, 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.
