I visited Henry Hagg Lake in northeast Oregon for a morning of trout fishing and to visit one of my old research sites from graduate school. This lake is one of the most popular trout fisheries in close proximity to Portland, Oregon. The prairies surrounding the lake are also home to one of the few remaining populations of the federally endangered Fender's Blue Butterfly.
I found good numbers of trout feeding in the top 15' of the water column and they were eager to hit small crankbaits and plugs.

That first fish jumping in the boat like that was one in a million.
I came here for a video on trout fishing but was fascinated by the butterfly tutorial. Good work.

We lived in Hillsboro for almost 20 years and loved this lake! We used to trout fish here out of our kayaks and loved it. 💕 We never had any fish jump in 🤪
Nice to see another entomology related colleague out pursuing their hobby of fishing. Looks like you had a great day! thanks for the education on the butterflies!
A good article in the local newspaper today concerning the success of the Fenders Blue recovery. Congratulations and good to know someone who was involved with that.
Thank you Tyler
Thanks for continuing to share with us!
Some great take downs and a bonus eco lesson on butterflies! Thanks Tyler.
I've always marveled at your videos, and just when I think I've seen your best, you produce this one! Magnificent if I do say so myself! I look forward to part II now. Thank you so very much!
Nice video. Thanks for sharing. There are too many fast boats in this lake and most of boat men don't slow down in the no quake zone.
Learned something new. Hagg Lake is my home water, thanks for the educational teaching.
Neat to learn about the butterfly! We just moved about 45 mins from Hagg and I work in wildlife but I hadn't heard about them yet. Thanks for sharing 👍
I went to Hagg Lake when I was 19 almost 28 years ago. My brother had relocated from Los Angeles to Aloha due to the bank he worked for moving to Portland. I caught my first freshwater perch there. I didn’t even know they existed.
Thank you Tyler for another great video and expanding my chance to learn something new everyday!
Really enjoyed this video. One of my favorite TH-camrs. Thanks!
“Fender's blue butterfly moves off endangered species list“- headline from Statesman’s Journal article a couple days ago.
Great video!
Yes very exciting news!
Those crankbait and plug bites are pretty aggressive and fun. I've flat lining the small size 70 hot shots over here on the west side and the little stockers we get to mess with just hammer them. I will say also I don't know if I have found a better trolling setup than a dodger and hoochie..... As soon as you put that on I knew that would get some fish 🐟
I always had a suspicion you were a bio nerd too! A basic education of limnology, flow regimes, and riparian ecology has completely changed the way I think about fish. I read water like most people read through Instagram feeds LOL.
Interesting butterfly lessons all wrapped up in a day of fishing.
Great, love watching your videos Tyler!
Fantastic video again! I loved the information/segment about the butterflies. Really interesting and I learned a ton. I did not know that Hagg had such a special habitat on its shores.
I also have to say that you picked a good day to hit Hagg. I saw on ifish that they stocked it yesterday (17th) with a number of larger trout (mixed in with normal stockers).
Good blues music!
Great video love the education love nature. Thanks for sharing.
Awesome video Tyler! Fishing and Lepidoptera
Love it... really cool documentary
I was trolling the surface close to shore there about a month ago and hooked into a steelhead! Man I wish I would of had my net cuz I broke my leader trying to get it!
Awesome had a Kokanee jump in my yak hook came off and he jumped back in the on the other side 😂
Hey Tyler
I noticed that the last couple of videos you have posted have been in the Salty. I am really hoping that you will do a full review in the future. I like the simplicity of the boat and you are doing a fantastic job illustrating that it is versatile as well.
Take care!
It's on the filming schedule
Great vid. Keep it up with the blues music.
Awesome!
I am so happy you came out to Hagg Lake! I started fishing this lake while I was at Pacific U.
As always a way cool vid.
Very cool and informative. My daughter is working in Roseburg with BLM to help eradicate invasive plant species. I think she would be very interested in this video!
Awesome to hear about this cool species and your involvement in the conservation efforts! My graduate background is in ecology and restoration as well and it’s cool that you sprinkle in your knowledge throughout your videos. Learn something every time! Lots of questions though! As far as trolling speed, why not use a small 360 flasher to better match the higher speed for the plugs on your other rod?
I've not had great success with small 360 flashers. Usually in these situations I would reach for the small skateboard dodgers but I didn't have any on hand.
What size flatfish?
Really enjoyed this one. I liked the part about the little eco systems. Made me wonder how many I pass through on a regular basis without knowing. How did you end up as a butterfly guy?
Originally was more of a bird guy but realized quickly that butterflies are a better measure of ecosystem health as they respond quicker to changes in the plant community
Great video Tyler, thank you! I'm curious to know how much weight you were using and how far out your setback was? Thanks in advance for sharing!
1/2 at 55' and 1 oz at 35'
Fantastic video as usual
I am in the process of switching out all the trebles on my Rapalas
They range from size 2 to 7
What size of siwash are you using?
I'm thinking 6 and 4
Size 6 mostly
Do you use any special scent to get them to jump into the boat like that? Im trying to get Spring Chinook to do that.
😂🤣
Do you have a video of the entire dodger setup?ive learned a a lot watching your videos and went out with dodgers for the first time last weekend. How do you rig your weights to get them deeper and how far above the dodger on the line. You videos are my favorite. So much info.
You can search his playlist. He's shown the setups before. Look for the lead dropper rig video he has.
@@jesparza602 thank you
Do you ever pair your flatfish with a dodger or flasher for trout?
Not typically and if I do I give them a long long leader
This video phenomenal I love trout fishing so relaxing and such a beautiful fish and calm I do videos too I actually caught my new pb bass if you want to check it out it was 100cm and 30lbs it was huge!!
So, what's your degrees? Mine are Water Science (Freshwater Ecology/Environmental Science mix) and Zoology for my undergrad (double major) and Molecular Fish Systematics for my MS. I should have stopped with the undergrad because I was unable to find a position once I got my masters and ended up returning to my trade for a living (drywall and painting).
What size length or weight Dodger were you using great video thanks
6" dodger, 8" leader
Preserve the Fenders Blue Butterfly, smoke the Kokanee. Life is a dichotomy. Fleeting, lasting a season. Have eyes as wide as a Fenders. Burrow into the blue deep for the red meat.
I’m only at 14:10, and it looks like your going off for a little land excursion. What slider is that? TIA!

Doing this work, do you work for the Federal or State gov't or a private consultant?
Sub-contracted but ultimately funds are federal
I fish here often, fish by the dam for hogs.
Thanks for the lessons on the butterflys. God is so amazing how he created these different kinds of butterflys. ❤
