Butcher Flat Reservoir is a reservoir in Lake County, Oregon.
Without a dependable size figure for Butcher Flat Reservoir, weeds, rock, water color, and nearby depth are the best starting clues.
Fish listed for Butcher Flat Reservoir include Brown Bullhead, Brown Trout, Largemouth Bass, Rainbow Trout, Tui Chub, and Yellow Perch.
During the first pass near a protected point after a cold night, keep a small jig tipped with a worm or minnow close to bottom on a shelf for yellow perch.
During a cool spring morning near a protected point in stained water, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
During a bright afternoon near a shallow shelf near firm bottom, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.
During a careful second pass near a shallow shelf before changing areas, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
During a low-light period near a quiet corner with light wind, Other targets listed here include Brown Trout; give each one its own bait and depth instead of trying to catch everything with the same rig.
During a cool spring morning near a channel bend after warm rain, use wind as a clue; a light push can carry food toward a bank, but hard wind may muddy it, so look for a clean edge near a point or protected pocket.
During a short evening pass near the outside weed line with a moving bait, spring fishing starts with warming banks, creek mouths, and shallow cover; summer usually pushes the better bite toward the outside weed edge or a nearby drop; fall can bring bait back to windblown points, while winter calls for smaller moves and a slower pace.
During a bright afternoon near a rocky edge where two features meet, a light spinning rod, thin line, a few small spoons, inline spinners, and jigs cover the listed trout; carry one slightly heavier setup when other fish or windy water call for more control.
During the start of a weather change near a clean gravel patch while the water is rising, record the wind, water color, depth beside useful cover, 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.
