Cascade Lakes Guided Fly Fishing

East Lake Cascade Lakes Fly Fishing Guide Trips

EAST LAKE

Season: Last Saturday in April–October 31, can run late due to snow.

East Lake the most consistent lake for fly fishing in our region. With good callibaetis action all summer and fall, good leech, chironomid, terrestrial, and streamer fishing.


THREE CREEKS LAKE

Season: Last Saturday in April–October 31, can run late due to snow.

The closest lake to the shop, Three Creeks is a gem! A high mountain lake with plenty of trout and good hatches.


DAVIS LAKE

Season: All year, can run late due to snow.

Davis offers the best largemouth Bass fishing in Central Oregon on a fly rod but is also a good trout lake. The Lake is open all year but is limited to access when snow blocks the road. The Best fishing is in the Spring after ice out but it stays good all season. In the Summer plan on early morning or late evening assaults for the best Bass action.


WICKIUP RESERVOIR

Season: Last Saturday in April–October 31, except Sheeps Bridge area which closes on September 30th, can run late due to snow.

Central Oregon’s 2nd largest reservoir has some amazing fishing opportunities. Sheeps Bridge area is one of our favorites but there are all kinds of coves to explore on this great lake.


CRANE PRAIRIE RESERVOIR

Season: Last Saturday in April–October 31.

CP is another Bass/Trout Combo lake. This lake was created in the path of several rivers and creeks (Snow Cr., Quinn River, Cultus River, Deschutes River & Rock Cr.) and all the channel’s have good fishing. Crane is famous for its skeleton forests and the fish use the old trees for hide outs and feeding. This is the best chironomid fishing in the area and a 10 pound fish is likely. Season runs from the last Saturday in April to October 31st.


LAVA LAKE

Season: Last Saturday in April–October 31, can run late due to snow.

One of the better Trout Lakes on the Cascade Lakes Hwy, Lava offer excellent Rainbow Trout fishing after ice out and into early Summer. Fall fishing is also very good.


LITTLE LAVA LAKE

Season: Last Saturday in April–October 31, can run late due to snow.

Little Lava is a great lake for fly fishing and is protected from the weather a bit more than the big lakes. So, if it’s blowing too hard on the big lakes Little Lava is a great back up. The Rainbows here are hard fighters and the fishing is often good.


HOSMER LAKE

Season: All year, limited to winter conditions from November to May.

This is one of the most special lakes in Central Oregon. Stocked with Rainbow, Cutthroat and Brookies along with Atlantics this unique fishery is a special place to add to your list. Plenty of good dry fly fishing here with the best evening caddis hatches of any of the Cascade Lakes.
