Brown Res is a reservoir in Josephine County, Oregon.
Use the shape you can see at Brown Res: check the best cover, the first drop, and one open-water line before moving.
Fish listed for Brown Res include Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, and Largemouth Bass.
During a cold winter outing near the outside weed line while the water is falling, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.
During a slow shoreline pass near a windblown shore with a moving bait, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
During a cool spring morning near a shaded bank where food is present, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.
During a check of nearby water near a windblown shore near firm bottom, 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 a return to the best bank near the first break away from empty shoreline, 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 the final pass near a small drop near firm bottom, 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 an overcast morning near a protected point near firm bottom, record the wind, water color, lure depth that worked, 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.
