Join Friends for the Todd lake Outing
Meet at the 7:00 AM
Todd lake Trailhead
Todd Lake is a natural lake and covers 45 acres, it’s named in honor of John Y. Todd, an early settler in Central Oregon. There is a day-use area and a rustic campground located on the west shore of the lake. Todd Lake is a popular outdoor recreation site for picnicking, fishing, hiking, and nature viewing.
Todd Lake is located on the Cascades Highway just Past Mt Bachelor. The lake has Brook and Rainbow trout. Because of the short ¼ mile hike, few people make the effort to fish this from a float tube. The lake also has shore access, but the heavy forest, except for the North end, will make it challenging to cast. I fished Todd last year in the middle of June during a flying ant hatch. The rainbows and Brookies were very willing to take ants off the surface. There are also some great ledges and overhanging trees to offer great opportunities to the boater.
Because the lake is popular and the parking can be challenging, we will meet at the trail head at 7:00. Walk up the trail to the lake edge. A portable float tube or pontoon is best. Suggested tackle is 2 - 4wt rods. Set up one for dry’s and the other with a strike indicator for chironomids and midges.
Suggested tackle is 2 - 4wt rods
Plan on a shore lunch around 11:00
