Hosmer is not accessable due to snow pack. Hosmer is open year round but only when accessable. Spring time of 2013 should offer opportunity to fish Hosmer again.

Hosmer Report

   Fishing Hosmer in October can be great. Most of the fish are concentrated in the first lake so don't worry about traveling far. Streamers and Buggers will be good bugs to fish this time of year. With snow on the Mountains already, sub surface flies will be your best bet. Intermediate sinking lines are perfect for Hosmer and lakes around here. Stop by the shop if you need any buggers as we have a good selection.

Hosmer Report

    If I was to choose to fish a lake right now, I would check out Hosmer Lake. This is the time to throw bright streamers and leeches. The Brook Trout are preparing to spawn and should be extra aggressive. The Atlantic Salmon will also be enticed to hit streamers and buggers. Get on out there as this is the last month to fish Hosmer.

Hosmer Lake

HOSMER LAKE OREGON: Hosmer Lake Oregon is one of the most beautiful places for central Oregon fly fishing. Hosmer Lake is really two fly fishing lakes Read More... that are joined by a long weed-lined channel. There are, nearly, 160 acres of water here that are surrounded by marshland and mountains! Only 8’-10’ in depth at its deepest point, it produces some of the most fun (read challenging) central Oregon fly fishing. Catch and release is mandatory for any Atlantic Salmon that are fooled into striking your fly, but up to 5 Brook Trout per day may be kept if they are over 8". Hosmer Lake Oregon offers good central Oregon fly fishing throughout the season with some excellent hatches of Midges, Callibaetis Mayflies, Traveling Sedges (Caddis that run across the lake on the surface tension of the water), and Damsel Flies. There are, also, Water Boatman and Scuds available on this fly fishing lake. Floating lines and Intermediate (full sink) lines are among the favorites on this fly fishing only lake. It is helpful to use fluorocarbon leaders and tippet material in an attempt to throw off these wiley fishes. Listed among Oregon’s quiet waters, this fly fishing lake sees lots of canoes/kayaks and is ideal for drift boats, float tubes and pontoon boats for accessing the prime central Oregon fly fishing water. Gasoline engines ARE NOT permitted on this lake and electric motors may be used to travel from point A to point B but must be OFF when one is fly fishing. There are an amazing number of birds and animals here on Hosmer Lake Oregon. Bitterns, Ducks, Geese, Ospreys, Bald Eagles, Deer, Red-Winged Blackbirds and many others. In the early season, it is the wise person who remembers to bring his/her Mosquito repellant as the little monsters can be voracious up here and are not shy about coming out over the fly fishing lakes. While there are good campsites and outhouses here, there is no drinking water or shower facilities, plan ahead. Hosmer Lake Oregon, can be an almost magical place, but it does not give up its secrets easily.
