I have been coming to this lake for 15 years, and despite being a shell of its former self, it is still a good place to fish. Since the illegal introduction of Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed sunfish, and Smallmouth Bass, the trout population has been severely depleted. This used to be a fingerling fishery, but now the ODFW has to stock legal size trout to keep the bass from gobbling them up. Fishing near the jetty, trolling around both islands, and fishing near the dam are still hotspots. I have caught more than 20 Pumpkinseed in a day, and more than 30 Smallmouth Bass in a day using crappie jigs with bits of worm, spinners, small spoons, and minnowbaits. Without a boat, the best bet for trout is off the pier with PowerBait.
