Fish species in Timothy Lake

Official stocking history

Stocking records show that the following fish or strains were stocked here. A historical stocking does not by itself prove that a self-sustaining population remains today.

Timothy Lake is usually a trout-and-camping destination, but a public-safety closure needs checking before you make plans. The September 3, 2026 fishing report listed the lake as closed. Confirm reopening with the land manager before arriving with a boat or camping gear.

Lake facts

  • Size: Roughly 1,300 to 1,400 acres in Oregon Lakes Atlas references
  • Main fish: Rainbow trout, brook trout, cutthroat trout and kokanee
  • Access status: ODFW reported a public-safety closure in its September 3, 2026 update

Fishing access

When access is open, Hoodview, Oak Fork and Pine Point are places to investigate. Pine Point has a fishing dock, and the southern shore has bank-fishing areas. Those are normal access options, not permission to enter during a closure. Use current recreation notices before choosing a route to the water.

Fish and tackle

Rainbows, brook trout, cutthroat and kokanee live here. Once the lake reopens, check the fish-specific retention rules and recent stocking before deciding what to target. Small lures or flies let you work reachable depth changes from shore. Kokanee need a different search from a boat, with attention to where fish are holding.

Campgrounds and reopening

Camping, paddling and a picnic can make a longer lake visit when facilities are operating. Check both Portland General Electric and Forest Service recreation information for access and campground status. An old reservation listing doesn't override a safety closure. Settle that first, then plan the fishing around the part of the lake you can legally use.
