It’s hard to find a pairing that goes better together than a Big Mac and a large Coke. But for my money, I’ll take my big macks and large kokes from a Cascade mountain lake.
Odell Lake, Crescent and Cultus are some of the coldest, deepest lakes in Oregon, which makes them good habitat for a big char we call lake trout or mackinaw. Odell and Crescent, with good populations of kokanee (a landlocked sockeye salmon) produce the biggest fish. Cultus Lake has no kokanee and the macks run smaller, but here an angler can catch more, running from 17 inches up to 20 pounds.
