Floras Lake, near Port Orford, Oregon, is a picturesque coastal lake providing diverse freshwater angling. It features consistent rainbow trout, regularly stocked by the Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife (ODFW), including impressive holdovers. The lake also boasts healthy largemouth bass populations, offering strong fights in warmer months. Additionally, sea-run cutthroat trout occasionally enter from tributaries, presenting a unique migratory opportunity, as do rare winter steelhead and fall salmon.

Fishing for trout is best after stocking in cooler periods, while bass action thrives as water temperatures rise. Effective methods for trout include bait fishing or spin fishing with small lures. Bass respond well to soft plastics, crankbaits, and topwater lures around vegetation. For sea-run cutthroat, light tackle and stealth are often key.

Access to Floras Lake is generally good, with public shoreline access and suitability for various watercraft. Anglers must strictly adhere to all ODFW regulations, including bag limits and proper fish handling. Floras Lake offers a versatile and enjoyable angling experience, blending consistent trout and bass action with the potential for migratory fish.
