Copp Reservoir is a reservoir in Polk County, Oregon.
No reliable acreage is listed for Copp Reservoir, so begin with visible cover and the first clear change in depth.
Fish listed for Copp Reservoir include Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, Cutthroat Trout, and Largemouth Bass.
During the first pass near the first break before changing areas, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.
During a short evening pass near a creek-side turn before changing depth, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
During a return to the best bank near a small drop away from empty shoreline, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.
During the final pass near a windblown shore before changing areas, do not let the deepest number control the whole day; nearby cover, firm bottom, and food usually matter more than the deepest hole by itself.
During a careful second pass near the downwind side where two features meet, Early in the year, protected water and the first warm afternoon can be the best clues; as the water heats up, check deeper edges without assuming every fish is on the bottom; cooling fall water often makes points and firm banks useful again.
During the first hour near a firm-bottom flat close to shade, 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 calm morning near the downwind side with light wind, record the wind, water color, depth where fish were holding, 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.
