Crow Reservoir is a reservoir in Oregon, near Baker County.
Crow Reservoir in Baker County is a reservoir in Oregon.
No reliable acreage is listed for Crow Reservoir, so begin with visible cover and the first clear change in depth.
Fish listed for Crow Reservoir include Black Crappie, Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, Channel Catfish, Common Carp, Largemouth Bass, Redside Shiner, Smallmouth Bass, Rainbow Trout, and Tui Chub.
During a check of nearby water near a shallow shelf close to shade, fish a small jig or minnow around wood, weeds, and sharp little drops for black crappie.
During the last hour of daylight near the downwind side before changing areas, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.
During the first pass near an open-water edge with a slow lure, drag a tube or Ned rig across rock and the hard edge of a point for smallmouth bass.
During a short evening pass near a channel bend close to shade, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
During the last hour of daylight near a creek-side turn with a slow lure, Other targets listed here include Channel Catfish, Brown Bullhead, Rainbow Trout, and Common Carp; give each one its own bait and depth instead of trying to catch everything with the same rig.
During the first hour near the outside weed line with a slow lure, 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.
During the start of a weather change near a protected point under flat light, 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 a careful second pass near a quiet corner with a moving bait, 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 methodical search near a shaded bank before changing areas, 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.
