City View Reservoir is a reservoir in Lane County, Oregon.
Without a dependable size figure for City View Reservoir, weeds, rock, water color, and nearby depth are the best starting clues.
Fish and Baits
Fish listed for City View Reservoir include Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, and Largemouth Bass.
During a cold winter outing near the outside weed line after warm rain, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.
During a check of nearby water near a creek-side turn away from empty shoreline, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
During an overcast morning near a clean gravel patch with light wind, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.
How to Read the Water
During the first pass near the edge of deeper water 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.
Season by Season
During a warm summer afternoon near a small drop while the water is rising, 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 warm summer afternoon near a quiet corner under flat light, 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 the first hour near an open-water edge while the water is rising, record the wind, water color, depth along the best drop, 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.
