Ward Lake is a lake in Lake County, Oregon.
The recorded size of Ward Lake is missing; fish one short bank carefully before deciding whether a wider search makes sense.
Fish listed for Ward Lake include Brown Bullhead, Brown Trout, Largemouth Bass, Rainbow Trout, Tui Chub, and Yellow Perch.
During the first pass near a creek-side turn in clear water, keep a small jig tipped with a worm or minnow close to bottom on a shelf for yellow perch.
During the first pass near a firm-bottom flat while the water is falling, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
During an overcast morning near a protected point before changing depth, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.
During a cool spring morning near a narrow cove after a cold night, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
During a check of nearby water near a firm-bottom flat under flat light, Other targets listed here include Brown Trout; give each one its own bait and depth instead of trying to catch everything with the same rig.
During the start of a weather change near a small drop close to shade, 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.
During a slow shoreline pass near the downwind side after a cold night, spring runoff can add color and pull fish toward fresh water; green weeds and the first drop become stronger summer targets; in fall, follow bait toward points and shallow flats, while winter rewards a slower search.
During a cool spring morning near a rocky edge after warm rain, 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 return to the best bank near a rocky edge with a slow lure, record the wind, water color, depth that held fish, 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.
