Brook Trout
While Bend is better known for its Deschutes River redband trout, dedicated anglers can find brook trout in some of the smaller, cooler streams and high-elevation lakes in the surrounding Cascade Mountains. The Metolius River tributaries and the Cascade Lakes offer potential brook trout habitat. The best time to target these fish is during the warmer months, from late spring to early fall, when the snow has melted and the streams are accessible. Many of these locations require some hiking to reach, but the solitude and untouched fishing can be well worth the effort. A local tip is to focus on areas with submerged structure, such as fallen logs and boulders, as these provide cover for the fish. Consider using small spinners or spoons in the lakes, as these can be effective for attracting the attention of brook trout. Remember to check regulations regarding size and bag limits, as these can vary depending on the specific waterbody.
