Fish species in CCC Reservoir

CCC Reservoir in Malheur County is a reservoir in Oregon.

Without a dependable size figure for CCC Reservoir, weeds, rock, water color, and nearby depth are the best starting clues.

Fish and Baits

Fish listed for CCC Reservoir include Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, Largemouth Bass, Redside Shiner, and Rainbow Trout.

During an overcast morning near a clean gravel patch away from empty shoreline, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.

During a quick scouting pass near a soft-to-hard bottom change in clear water, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.

During a steady fall day near a firm-bottom flat away from empty shoreline, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.

During a careful second pass near a protected point close to shade, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.

How to Read the Water

During a check of nearby water near the edge of deeper water with a moving bait, 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 a creek-side turn 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.

A Simple Tackle Plan

During a cool spring morning near a clean gravel patch after warm rain, 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 last hour of daylight near a small drop after warm rain, record the wind, water color, water depth at the strike, 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.
