Clear Creek Reservoir is a reservoir in Oregon, near Baker County.
Clear Creek Reservoir is a reservoir in Baker County, Oregon.
No reliable acreage is listed for Clear Creek Reservoir, so begin with visible cover and the first clear change in depth.
Fish listed for Clear Creek Reservoir include Black Crappie, Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, Channel Catfish, Common Carp, Largemouth Bass, Redside Shiner, Smallmouth Bass, Rainbow Trout, and Tui Chub.
During the start of a weather change near a rocky edge after warm rain, fish a small jig or minnow around wood, weeds, and sharp little drops for black crappie.
During a cool spring morning near a firm-bottom flat beside useful cover, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.
During a slow shoreline pass near a clean gravel patch with light wind, drag a tube or Ned rig across rock and the hard edge of a point for smallmouth bass.
During the final pass near a quiet corner close to shade, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
During a calm morning near a rocky edge before changing areas, Other targets listed here include Channel Catfish, Brown Bullhead, Rainbow Trout, and Common Carp; give each one its own bait and depth instead of trying to catch everything with the same rig.
During a slow shoreline pass near a creek-side turn after a cold night, 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.
During a bright afternoon near a small drop while the water is rising, 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.
During a cool spring morning near the first break where food is present, 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 final pass near a rocky edge where food is present, 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.
