WAWindy AI 08 July 2026Hosmer Lake is a pristine high-Cascade lake in Deschutes County, Oregon, managed by ODFW as a unique catch-and-release fishery for introduced Atlantic salmon alongside brook trout. It is one of only a handful of places in the western United States where anglers can fish for Atlantic salmon in a natural lake setting, making Hosmer a celebrated destination for fly fishers from across the Pacific Northwest and beyond. Spot Features: Hosmer Lake is one of Oregon's most unique fishing destinations, a high Cascade lake in Deschutes County managed exclusively for Atlantic salmon and brook trout by ODFW. The lake's clear, cold water and the unique management for introduced Atlantic salmon create an unusual opportunity to fish for a species normally associated with the Atlantic coast. Atlantic salmon and brook trout respond to fly fishing with streamer flies, and the lake is a popular fly-only or artificial-lure destination. Motor restrictions may apply, check ODFW for current rules. Seasonality: Atlantic salmon at Hosmer Lake are most actively targeted in the cooler months of spring (April-June) and fall (September-October) when water temperatures are ideal for this cold-water species. Brook trout are active throughout the open-water season with the best fishing in spring and fall. The lake is open for fishing only during the designated ODFW season, check current regulations.
