• Where to Fish on Teardrop Pool

  No figure exists for depth, so let the water show you. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Reported across Deschutes County: rainbow trout, brook trout and mountain whitefish. Some of the species recorded here are protected or tightly regulated, so check what may be targeted before you fish. On Teardrop Pool a short move beats a long cast.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The year swings from about 23°F in December to roughly 51°F in August. Hard water is a season in its own right here. Winter locks it down, and late May brings it back. Averages suggest open water from about late May through to roughly mid November. Early summer and early autumn carry the open-water season. Teardrop Pool fishes to that pattern most years.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing on record says whether the bank is open or closed. It is recorded as intermittent, which means the basin empties in dry spells. We find no slipway, car park or made path within a short radius, so treat access as rough. 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. The nearest alternative is Carver Lake, 1.2 miles out.
