Slide Lakes Fishing in Lake County, Oregon

• Overview

  Slide Lakes is set in Lake County, Oregon. It sits at 6,007 feet above sea level. The water measures roughly 4 acres, so nothing here is far from anything else. Our Lake County list holds plenty of bigger water. You are 40 miles from Lakeview. Further out sit Altamont (61 miles) and Klamath Falls (62 miles). It sits well inside its county, with no border complications.

• Where to Fish on Slide Lakes

  Depth is unknown to us, and the shoreline is the better guide. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Reported across Lake County: rainbow trout, Sacramento sucker, warner sucker and brown bullhead. Records at county level tell you what is around, not what is stocked here. Work Slide Lakes in sections rather than trying to cover it.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate normals give 61°F for July and 29°F for December. A long season, with weather mattering more than the month. Some winters give nothing at all, so plan for open water. Late winter often fishes better here than midsummer does. On Slide Lakes that shapes the whole year. Short days concentrate it into a narrow window.

• Tackle & Baits

  No public source sets out the position on this bank. Records show it does not hold water year-round. Expect a half a mile walk in from where the car goes. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Parking is often the real limit rather than the bank itself. Close seasons apply to some species and not others. Should this one be busy, Withers Lake is 1.8 miles off. Check the current arrangement for Slide Lakes.
