Company Lake is a reservoir in Multnomah County, Oregon.
Use the shape you can see at Company Lake: check the best cover, the first drop, and one open-water line before moving.
Fish listed for Company Lake include Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, and Largemouth Bass.
During a quick scouting pass near a creek-side turn near firm bottom, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.
During a careful second pass near the outside weed line close to shade, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
During a bright afternoon near a windblown shore near visible bait, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.
During the final pass near the mouth of a pocket near visible bait, 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 low-light period near the first break with a slow lure, 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 the start of a weather change near the edge of deeper water in clear water, 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 a short evening pass near the mouth of a pocket close to shade, record the wind, water color, depth of the first good pass, 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.
