Cisco
Bend, Oregon, might not be the first place that comes to mind for cisco fishing, but several high-elevation lakes in the Cascade Mountain range just west of town offer surprisingly good opportunities. These glacial lakes, such as Hosmer Lake and Lava Lake, are known for their clear, cold waters and healthy populations of these deep-water salmonids. The best time to target cisco here is during the shoulder seasons, spring and fall, when the water temperatures are cooler and the fish move closer to the surface. A fish finder is invaluable for locating schools of cisco, which often suspend in the water column. Try jigging small spoons or using a downrigger to present your bait at the right depth. Be prepared for rapidly changing weather conditions at these high-altitude locations; layering your clothing is essential for a comfortable day on the water. Access to some lakes may be limited by snow during the winter and early spring, so check road conditions before heading out.
