 EAST
LAKE OREGON: East Lake Oregon is nestled in the
caldera of an old volcano, and is truly, one of the most
enjoyable Central Oregon Fly Fishing Lakes. Lying atop
the Newberry National Monument (6400’), some 35 miles
south of Bend, this scenic Central Oregon Fly Fishing
Lake covers over 1000 acres that can reach 200’ in depth,
in places. Yet, it is the extensive flats, of this beautiful
Oregon Fly Fishing lake, that harbor the weeds and promote
the prolific aquatic insect hatches that have made this
a tremendous place for Central Oregon Fly Fishing.
There are Brook Trout, Rainbow Trout, Brown Trout,
Atlantic Salmon and Kokanee Salmon (a landlocked Sockeye)
swimming around in East Lake Oregon! Some of the Brown
Trout grow to be of quite excellent size. The resort,
at East Lake Oregon, offers a selection of food, some
tackle, boat rentals, cabins for rent as well as fine
camping areas.
The Callibaetis Mayfly hatches in East Lake Oregon,
can be legendary, but there are, also, Midges, Black
Caddis, Damsel Flies, and Traveling Sedges. If one wishes
to attract the bigger fish, then fly fishing with a
Chub imitation is in order.
 It
is permissible to fish artificial lures and bait at
East Lake; the limit is set at 5 fish over 8” with 1
over 20”. Motored boats are allowed on this Central
Oregon Fly Fishing Lake, but there is a 10 m.p.h. limit
here, which is strictly enforced.
Fly fishing is not the only thing to do while visiting
East Lake Oregon, there is abundant wildlife viewing
opportunities here, with Ospreys, Bald Eagles, lots
of Mountain Gulls, several species of Ducks and Deer
that come right to the water’s edge!
An exquisite place to go fly fishing, even the drive
is worth it!
