Fishing Lake Alice in Marion County, Oregon

• Overview

  You will find Lake Alice in Marion County, Oregon. The surface lies 5,105 feet up. This is a pocket water of some 7 acres, and every part of it is reachable from the bank. For supplies, Warm Springs is 24 miles out. Further out sit Culver (32 miles) and Madras (33 miles). More in the same country: Lake Marie just 0.1 miles, Lake Mary a touch under 0.3 miles, Lake Hazel just 0.3 miles, Dark Lake a touch under 0.5 miles and Long Lake just 0.7 miles. No border sits close enough to matter.

• Where to Fish on Lake Alice

  Without a survey to go on, judge depth from how the bank falls away. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Survey and observation records for Marion County include bluegill, largemouth bass, largescale sucker and rainbow trout. The county list is broader than any single water. Read Lake Alice before you fish it and the day goes better.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages move between 28°F in January and 55°F in August. Fishing continues through most of the calendar, with quiet spells rather than closures. Hard water here is never dependable, so check for yourself before stepping out. April and May are the settled weeks, with October close behind. Lake Alice fishes to that pattern most years.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. Nothing is listed nearby for parking or launching a boat. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Gates get locked out of season on water like this. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. Lake Marie, 0.1 miles away, makes the obvious fallback. Check the position at Lake Alice before loading the car.
