Cox Grove Lake is a reservoir in Harney County, Oregon.
The recorded size of Cox Grove Lake is missing; fish one short bank carefully before deciding whether a wider search makes sense.
Fish listed for Cox Grove Lake include Black Crappie, Brown Bullhead, Brown Trout, Largemouth Bass, Redside Shiner, Smallmouth Bass, Rainbow Trout, and Tui Chub.
During a cold winter outing near the first break while the water is rising, fish a small jig or minnow around wood, weeds, and sharp little drops for black crappie.
During a calm morning near the mouth of a pocket close to shade, drag a tube or Ned rig across rock and the hard edge of a point for smallmouth bass.
During a careful second pass near a firm-bottom flat where food is present, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
During a cold winter outing near a protected point with stable weather, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.
During a quick scouting pass near a narrow cove while the water is falling, Other targets listed here include Rainbow Trout, and Brown Trout; give each one its own bait and depth instead of trying to catch everything with the same rig.
During the first hour near scattered wood with light wind, 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 an overcast morning near scattered wood away from empty shoreline, 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 last hour of daylight near an open-water edge near firm bottom, 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 steady fall day near a clean gravel patch with a moving bait, record the wind, water color, depth that produced twice, 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.
