Fish species in Calloway Reservoir

Official stocking history

Stocking records show that the following fish or strains were stocked here. A historical stocking does not by itself prove that a self-sustaining population remains today.

Calloway Reservoir is a reservoir in Benton County, Oregon.

No reliable acreage is listed for Calloway Reservoir, so begin with visible cover and the first clear change in depth.

Fish and Baits

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

During a slow shoreline pass near an open-water edge after warm rain, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.

During a steady fall day near a protected point close to shade, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.

During a check of nearby water near an open-water edge with a slow lure, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.

During an overcast morning near the outside weed line close to shade, Rainbow Trout have also been stocked here; that proves fish were released, but it does not promise that they are still common or easy to catch.

How to Read the Water

During the first hour near a creek-side turn with a moving bait, 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.

Season by Season

During a careful second pass near scattered wood where food is present, spring runoff can add color and pull fish toward fresh water; green weeds and the first drop become stronger summer targets; in fall, follow bait toward points and shallow flats, while winter rewards a slower search.

A Simple Tackle Plan

During a steady fall day near a shaded bank 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 a bright afternoon near the downwind side in stained water, record the wind, water color, depth of the first bite, 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.
