View Lake is a lake in Jefferson County, Oregon.
Use the shape you can see at View Lake: check the best cover, the first drop, and one open-water line before moving.
Fish listed for View Lake include Brook Trout, Cutthroat Trout, and Rainbow Trout.
During a steady fall day near the downwind side near firm bottom, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
During a calm morning near the downwind side beside useful cover, do not let the deepest number control the whole day; nearby cover, firm bottom, and food usually matter more than the deepest hole by itself.
During a return to the best bank near a firm-bottom flat away from empty shoreline, 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 narrow cove with light wind, 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 bright afternoon near a small drop before changing depth, record the wind, water color, depth along the active edge, 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.
