Fish species in Walls Lake

Walls Lake is a lake in Harney County, Oregon.

Use the shape you can see at Walls Lake: check the best cover, the first drop, and one open-water line before moving.

Fish and Baits

Fish listed for Walls Lake include Redside Shiner, and Rainbow Trout.

During a careful second pass near a rocky edge after warm rain, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.

How to Read the Water

During a short evening pass near a channel bend with stable weather, Make one shallow pass and one deeper pass on the same shoreline; that shows whether fish are tight to cover or using the first break.

Season by Season

During the first pass near the edge of deeper water before changing areas, 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.

A Simple Tackle Plan

During a slow shoreline pass near a shaded bank while the water is rising, 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 last hour of daylight near a small drop while the water is falling, record the wind, water color, depth along the best drop, 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.
