Most anglers use large lures that imitate smaller trout or other types of forage fish, and run them very deep with down riggers to get down to them. Lake trout are often caught in very deep water in Oregon, especially during the mid-summer months when they seek out the coolest waters. These Midwest transplants don’t always grow as big here or run as numerous as they do at Odell Lake and perhaps Crescent Lake, but they still have been known to get lake trout in Cultus that are seriously large … into the upper teens and sometimes well over 20 pounds. The depth is key to making it good habitat for the mackinaw, which are technically in the char family, close relatives of trout (and commonly considered trout). Cultus Lake isn’t consistently the best place in Central Oregon to catch lake trout (mackinaw), or rainbow trout, or brook trout … but it very well might be the best place to catch all three.Īnd just maybe you’ll catch a trophy version of each species because Cultus can grow big trout.Ĭultus Lake, also known as Big Cultus Lake, covers nearly 800 acres and has places that are more than 200 feet deep.
