C C Porter Reservoir

C C Porter Reservoir in Clackamas County is a reservoir in Oregon.

The recorded size of C C Porter Reservoir is missing; fish one short bank carefully before deciding whether a wider search makes sense.

Fish and Baits

Fish listed for C C Porter Reservoir include Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, and Largemouth Bass.

During the first pass near the edge of deeper water before changing depth, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.

During a return to the best bank near the first break while the water is rising, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.

During a calm morning near a shaded bank with a moving bait, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.

How to Read the Water

During a methodical search near a clean gravel patch in clear water, Make one shallow pass and one deeper pass on the same shoreline; that shows whether fish are tight to cover or using the first break.

Season by Season

During a warm summer afternoon near a channel bend under flat light, 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.

A Simple Tackle Plan

During a cool spring morning near a quiet corner in stained water, 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 a methodical search near a small drop with stable weather, record the wind, water color, depth of the best pass, 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.
