Cinch Reservoir is a reservoir in Crook County, Oregon.
The recorded size of Cinch Reservoir is missing; fish one short bank carefully before deciding whether a wider search makes sense.
Fish listed for Cinch Reservoir include Brown Bullhead, Largemouth Bass, Rainbow Trout, and Tui Chub.
During a short evening pass near a small drop with a moving bait, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
During a short evening pass near the first break after a cold night, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.
During a return to the best bank near a shallow shelf after a cold night, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
During the start of a weather change near a shaded bank after a cold night, 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.
During a slow shoreline pass near a narrow cove 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.
During the first pass near scattered wood in stained water, 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 bright afternoon near a clean gravel patch after warm rain, 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.
