Coffee Pot Reservoir in the north-central part of Lake County is a reservoir in Oregon.
Use the shape you can see at Coffee Pot Reservoir: check the best cover, the first drop, and one open-water line before moving.
Fish and Baits
Fish listed for Coffee Pot Reservoir include Brown Bullhead, Largemouth Bass, Rainbow Trout, and Tui Chub.
During a low-light period near a clean gravel patch while the water is falling, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
During a quick scouting pass near an open-water edge where two features meet, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.
During a warm summer afternoon near the downwind side with a moving bait, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
How to Read the Water
During an overcast morning near a shallow shelf beside useful cover, 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 a calm morning near the first break near firm bottom, 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 steady fall day near the first break before changing depth, 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 return to the best bank near an open-water edge before changing depth, 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.
