The trout limit doesn’t include an additional 25-fish limit for kokanee, which are so small they make excellent trout food but often get ignored by anglers. Not more than one may be over 20 inches, a length regularly attained by Miller browns. The five-trout daily limit includes any combination of browns and rainbows, all of which must be at least 8 inches long. Miller Lake, in ODFW’s Southeast Zone, is open all year and, unlike many trout fisheries, also allows 24-hour fishing so anglers can target the browns, which feed at night. The lake is west of the Highway 97 town of Chemult, about halfway between Bend and Klamath Falls.
Some of them, Sessions included, believe the next state record brown – now owned by a 28-plus pounder from Paulina Lake – will come from Miller.
But among serious brown trout anglers, Miller’s secret has gotten out. Miller Lake sometimes flies below the radar of casual anglers because it’s a bit off the path beaten to better-known lakes in the Cascade Mountains, including Diamond Lake over the summit to the west.
