Fishing Thissell Pond in Lincoln County, Oregon

• Overview

  Thissell Pond lies in Lincoln County, Oregon. It lies 302 feet above sea level. At roughly 2 acres, the whole thing is within casting reach of a single walk. It is a small entry by Lincoln County standards. For a base, Waldport sits 16 miles out. After that come Toledo at 18 miles and Philomath at 21 miles. The nearest boundary is well away, so one set of rules covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Thissell Pond

  Depth remains unrecorded, so treat the first session as a survey. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. Records held for Lincoln County cover rainbow trout, flathead grey mullet, Coho salmon, cutthroat trout and Chinook salmon. At least one recorded species is protected in parts of its range; read the local rules before targeting anything. At Thissell Pond light and wind decide more than tackle does.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate records put August near 62°F and December near 40°F. Fishing continues through most of the calendar, with quiet spells rather than closures. In a normal year the cover is thin and short-lived. November and March are the quiet, comfortable months to be out. Plan around that when you fish Thissell Pond.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing we hold confirms whether access is permitted. No slipway, car park or made path shows up nearby in mapping, so treat access as rough. Light line and small metal for the trout; a fly rod earns its place on calm evenings. Where the road in crosses private land, ask first. Where the way in crosses private ground, ask first. Klickitat Lake sits 7.1 miles off and takes the overflow. Nothing here settles the position at Thissell Pond for certain.
