Hagg Lake continues to receive regular stockings of catchable-size trout with some trophies mixed in. Bass fishing has slowed down with winter temperatures, however fish can still be found with a little patience and modified tactics. Try fishing deeper locations in the lake using smaller baits and a slowed-down presentation.

Hagg Lake is one of western Oregon’s largest lakes and is a premier warmwater fishing destination. The lake is home to both the state record smallmouth bass and bullhead catfish.

Maintained and operated by Washington County, the park features numerous picnic areas, two boat launching facilities, more than 15 miles of hiking trails, and observation decks for wildlife and bird watching. The lake and lake park are currently open, although users are encouraged to check the Hagg Lake Park website, as conditions can change.
