Hosmer lake is in the Oregon Cascades, and has both Atlantic Salmon and

Are there any landlocked salmon left in East Lake? I got into them
one morning and caught a couple of dozen. At the time they were
trying to get rid of them and the limit was generous. We ate a few
but they were just so-so. .....

Yes, though fewer than there were. BTW, eating fish out of East
is not such a good idea due to high mercury levels.

Hosmer reached a something of a tipping point a few years ago.
Always popular with fly fishers and canoers, the population
explosion in Central Oregon has added hordes of kayakers as well.
Between May and September, it's a zoo. Given that there are
only non-native trout/salmon there, and good moving water nearby,
these days I only stop in passing to marvel at how full and crazy
the parking/camping area is before moving on.....
