Eastern Brook Lake Fishing Guide, Lane County, Oregon

• Overview

  Eastern Brook Lake stands in Lane County, Oregon. It sits at 5,023 feet above sea level. At 11 acres it is the sort of place you fish for an evening rather than a day. Oakridge sits 21 miles from here and is the nearest stop. Beyond it, La Pine at 28 miles and Three Rivers at 29 miles. It lies deep inside the county rather than near an edge.

• Where to Fish on Eastern Brook Lake

  Our records carry no depth, so judge it from the bank. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. Records held for Lane County cover rainbow trout, cutthroat trout, largescale sucker and Coho salmon. At least one recorded species is protected in parts of its range; read the local rules before targeting anything. Take Eastern Brook Lake a stretch at a time.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Long-run averages give August about 57°F and December about 29°F. The year gives four workable seasons without severe ends. It is not guaranteed from one year to the next. March through May is the strongest run, with October and November a second stretch. Eastern Brook Lake runs to its own calendar within the local pattern.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access is not recorded for this water. Parking sits half a mile out, which makes for a walk with tackle. You can camp half a mile off, which suits an early start. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Where the road in crosses private land, ask first. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. Emma Lake at 0.2 miles is the sensible second choice. None of that is settled for Eastern Brook Lake in what we hold.
