Division Waterhole is a reservoir in Crook County, Oregon.
No reliable acreage is listed for Division Waterhole, so begin with visible cover and the first clear change in depth.
During a check of nearby water near a shaded bank with light wind, the fish mix is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.
During a return to the best bank near a creek-side turn after warm rain, begin with one slow bottom presentation and one moving bait, then let bites show whether fish are holding close to cover or roaming open water.
During a cool spring morning near a shaded bank before changing areas, start where two things meet: weeds and open water, rock and mud, a point and a drop, or clear water and dirty water; fish that edge at more than one depth before leaving it.
During the final pass near an open-water edge in clear water, shallow water is worth a careful look in spring and again during fall; bright summer days favor shade, weeds, or deeper breaks; under ice, a small depth change can be more useful than a long move.
During a cool spring morning near a shallow shelf close to shade, a medium spinning rod, 8-pound line, a small box of jigs, a few crankbaits, and a simple bottom rig cover most situations; change depth or speed before changing every piece of tackle.
During the final pass near a firm-bottom flat beside useful cover, record the wind, water color, water depth at the strike, and cover after a bite; those four notes are more useful on the next trip than a long list of spots that did not produce.
