Magone Lake, a picturesque 50-acre gem in Grant County, Oregon, is a deep, crystal-clear mountain lake celebrated for its consistent trout fishing. Situated at approximately 4,900 feet, it offers a serene escape, primarily sustaining rainbow and brook trout, regularly stocked by the Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife (ODFW) to ensure a vibrant fishery.
Optimal fishing conditions for trout generally prevail from spring through fall, when the lake's cold, clear waters are ideal. While winter access may be limited by snow, the warmer months see strong activity from trout. Effective angling methods include bait fishing with PowerBait or worms, and spin fishing with small inline spinners or spoons. Fly anglers also find success with nymphs, small streamers, and dry flies, especially during insect activity.
Access to Magone Lake is typically via forest roads, with campgrounds available for extended stays. Anglers are encouraged to consult and adhere to all ODFW bag limits for trout. Responsible angling practices, including proper waste disposal, are crucial for preserving the lake's tranquility and natural beauty. Magone Lake offers a rewarding high-mountain angling experience, combining consistent trout catches with the breathtaking scenery of forested Oregon.
