Conditions
: WALLOWA LAKE: Rainbow trout, kokanee and lake trout are available throughout the fall and winter for hardy anglers willing to fish during the colder months. Trout anglers can do best near the south end of the lake whereas kokanee and lake trout will be more dispersed. The lake is ice-free, and the boat ramps are accessible although the docks may not be in. Last updated 1/31/24. Reported by: Oregon D.F.W |

About: -
Located in a spectacular alpine setting in Northeastern Oregon, Wallowa Lake is deep and cold. Sitting
at an altitude of nearly 4,383 feet, with Chief Joseph Mountain behind it. The glacier-created lake is about 1,500 acres in size, averages
160 feet deep, and is nearly 300 feet at its deepest. Wallowa Lake holds the state record for kokanee with a fish weighing 6
pounds, 12 ounces.
In addition to kokanee, Wallowa Lake has a good rainbow trout fishery and
these fish are readily available to anglers May through October. There is also a small population of lake trout, including some up to
30 pounds, but they are seldom caught.
