About Lake Billy Chinook
Lake Billy Chinook was named for a Wasco Indian Scout from Warm Springs who joined the famous John C. Fremont expedition in 1843, just a few years before the bulk of the Oregon Trail settlers began to arrive in their wagon trains. Kit Carson was part of this expedition.
The lake was formed in 1964 by the building of the Round Butte Dam, which in one fell swoop damned the three major rivers of Central Oregon--- the Crooked River, the Deschutes River, and the ice-cold Metolius River. The Lake lists as 4,000 acres in size, but it is a very deep 4,000 acres, with water at the dam itself 415 feet deep! Such deep waters remain cool to cold even through the long hot summers, and giant lunkers can always drift into layers perfect for their needs. The Lake has a thriving and varied fishery, and holds Oregon's records for Bull Trout, aka Dolly Varden. The Kokanee salmon, aka Silver salmon, is known to be especially plentiful.
