What type of fish do you catch there?Hagg lake is nice.
Get there super early if you are really wanting to catch fish from the bank.
Went last weekend and I think we got there at 5am and 2 of us limited out before 9am when it had started slowing down .
We caught a bunch of rainbow trout. Not huge but big enough to eat.What type of fish do you catch there?
Great suggestion!
Thanks all! This is great info! Gonna give it a shot this weekendBuy a cheapo rod/reel combo at BiMart or Fred Meyers. Get a reel that has a button on the top. Get some hooks, size 14. Buy some earthworms at same store. A bobber about the size of a golf ball. attach bobber about 18-24" up from hook. Add worm to hook, covering hook best you can. Got to Clackamas River, park along River at a pull over spot (probably a fishing hole here) find some small rapid, cast upstream in water just down from a rapid where the water slows a bit. Let water float the bobber down stream naturally so provide enough slack in line to do so. If bobber sinks you may have a bite… or you're snagged.
bring patience. It's called fishing, not catching.
This ^^ guy has it! If you go to Hagg Lake you will be driving through the HELL that potland is, TWICE! No one wants, to do that. Well, unless you're some weirdo.North Fork Reservoir on the Clackamas River would be closer.
Similar experience to Hagg Lake except with nicer scenery.
Sure it is. You're in the foothills of the Cascades.North Fork res isn't much in the way of scenery. And it's been fished for quite awhile and can be close to fished out if you're not there with a week or so of planting.
Where did you fish the Lahontans?Compared to Timothy or Clear lake. I never fished for pellet head trout, on purpose. Not for many years anyway. I grew up on river brown trout, lake Brookies and Lahontan Cutthroat. Timothy and Clear both have a chance at brookies. At least they used to.
Grew up in the Salt Lake Valley and fished Strawberry Reservoir And now I thought I'd better look it up. Not Lahontan but "Bonneville Cutthroat". Related but separated during some past ice age into the the two species.Where did you fish the Lahontans?
If you're up for a drive check out Mann Lake down south of Burns. It's got Lahontans in it. Nymph fishing from the west shore seems to be the ticket. Beautiful desert lake at the base of the Steens. I haven't been there for probably fifteen years and now living in Montana will likely never be there again.Grew up in the Salt Lake Valley and fished Strawberry Reservoir And now I thought I'd better look it up.

Never knew there were so many cutthroat varieties!

I pretty much quit fishing for all of them (trouts) when I moved here in '83. Going from a good selection of streams and high mountain lake, red meat trout, to the pellet head/put 'n take that is around here, I lost the desire.
I'd though I'd heard that Mann Lake was no more. No more what you are talkign about anyway.If you're up for a drive check out Mann Lake down south of Burns. It's got Lahontans in it.

Well shoot! I hadn't heard about that. Had some great fishin' trips there. Mebbe ODFW can do something worthwhile and restock it and get it producing fish again.I'd though I'd heard that Mann Lake was no more. No more what you are talkign about anyway.
Seems so...
Likely that no Lahontans remain in Mann Lake
Nestled below the east face of Steens Mountain, Mann Lake is an oasis in the rugged southeast Oregon desert and a popular draw for anglers from across the Northwest.www.eastoregonian.com
Besides, I've pretty much lost the passion for fishing. At least from where I live now. Too much work to get the boat through the horrible traffic to fish for bass in the Willamette. Or salmon. $200.00 for the wife and I. Driving without the boat to sit on the bank and catch pellet heads. It just doesn't appeal to me any more.
