Cram Reservoir is a reservoir in Crook County, Oregon.
Use the shape you can see at Cram Reservoir: check the best cover, the first drop, and one open-water line before moving.
Fish and Baits
Fish listed for Cram Reservoir include Brown Bullhead, Largemouth Bass, Rainbow Trout, and Tui Chub.
During a low-light period near a narrow cove near visible bait, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
During a methodical search near the outside weed line with light wind, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.
During a steady fall day near the mouth of a pocket near visible bait, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
How to Read the Water
During a short evening pass near the downwind side after a cold night, 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.
Season by Season
During the first hour near a shallow shelf with a slow lure, spring runoff can add color and pull fish toward fresh water; green weeds and the first drop become stronger summer targets; in fall, follow bait toward points and shallow flats, while winter rewards a slower search.
A Simple Tackle Plan
During a methodical search near a firm-bottom flat after a cold night, 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 cold winter outing near a clean gravel patch with a slow lure, record the wind, water color, depth along the active edge, 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.
