O'Conner Lake is a lake in Washington, near Skamania County.
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.
O'Conner Lake is a lake in Skamania County, Washington and covers about 3.9 acres.
On a water as small as O'Conner Lake, one weed edge or deeper pocket can hold much of the day’s activity.
Fish listed for O'Conner Lake include Brook Trout and Rainbow Trout.
During a quick scouting pass near a shaded bank where food is present, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
During a cold winter outing near a soft-to-hard bottom change near firm bottom, Cutthroat Trout have also been stocked here; that proves fish were released, but it does not promise that they are still common or easy to catch.
During the first hour near an open-water edge while the water is rising, use wind as a clue; a light push can carry food toward a bank, but hard wind may muddy it, so look for a clean edge near a point or protected pocket.
While using one protected-water check near a small drop where two features meet, shallow water is worth a careful look in spring and again during fall; bright summer days favor shade, weeds, or deeper breaks; under ice, a small depth change can be more useful than a long move.
During a short evening pass near a shaded bank near visible bait, 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 the edge of deeper water after a cold night, 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.
