Greaser Lake Fishing Guide, Lake County, Oregon

• Overview

  Greaser Lake is listed under Lake County, Oregon. The country round it is sage and rock from end to end. This is sizeable water at about 462 acres, and a boat opens up most of it. With about 2.9 miles of edge, you can try several depths in one session. Few waters listed in Lake County are bigger. Nearest town is Lakeview, 28 miles off. Alturas is 58 miles and Altamont 99 miles. It lies deep inside the county rather than near an edge.

• Where to Fish on Greaser Lake

  No published figure covers depth, so learn it as you fish. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. Open biodiversity records for Lake County list rainbow trout, Sacramento sucker, warner sucker and brown bullhead. Those are county-wide records, so not every one of them will be in this water. Read Greaser Lake for ten minutes before the first cast goes out.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warmest month averages 68°F, the coldest about 32°F. Spring and autumn are the strongest, but nothing is truly closed. In a normal year the cover is thin and short-lived. February into May fishes hardest as the water warms. Keep it in mind when planning a trip to Greaser Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  The rules here are undocumented as far as public sources go. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. Nothing is listed nearby for parking or launching a boat. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Check locally before you travel, because a wasted drive is a long one. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. Should this one be busy, Twentymile Slough is 1.3 miles off. Treat Greaser Lake as unsettled until someone local tells you otherwise.
