Capp Reservoir is a reservoir in Malheur County, Oregon.
The recorded size of Capp Reservoir is missing; fish one short bank carefully before deciding whether a wider search makes sense.
Fish and Baits
Fish listed for Capp Reservoir include Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, Largemouth Bass, Redside Shiner, and Rainbow Trout.
During a short evening pass near the downwind side in stained water, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.
During a slow shoreline pass near a narrow cove near visible bait, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
During a low-light period near an open-water edge before changing areas, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.
During a careful second pass near the mouth of a pocket where food is present, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
How to Read the Water
During a warm summer afternoon near a shallow shelf 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.
Season by Season
During an overcast morning near the first break near visible bait, 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.
A Simple Tackle Plan
During a steady fall day near a rocky edge close to shade, 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 a careful second pass near a narrow cove under flat light, record the wind, water color, depth that produced twice, 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.
