in Lake County, you’d be right to think that fishing holes are plentiful here. Known for excellent trout fishing in the mountainous areas, the region is also gaining a reputation for bass, crappie, catfish, and other warm-water fishing.
Crump, Flagstaff, Anderson, and Campbell Lakes in eastern Lake County provide the hottest action for crappie.
Friday Reservoir, located between Adel and Plush, is stocked with Lahontan cutthroat trout, and Rock Creek, which flows out of the Hart Mountain National Antelope Refuge, has red-banded trout. Off U.S. 395 in western Lake County, Goose Lake, half in California, half in Oregon, is also home to the native red-banded trout, but it’s hard to fish for this unique subspecies in the shallow water.
Drews Reservoir, 25 miles west of Lakeview on ORE 140, offers excellent fishing for channel catfish—some as large as 10 pounds. In the northern section of the county, Thompson Valley Reservoir, reached by driving south from Silver Lake on County Road 4–12, has yielded large rainbows.
The Chewaucan River, which flows into Abert Lake, is heavily stocked with trout.
