Fish species in Crowcamp Reservoir

Crowcamp Reservoir is a reservoir in Harney County, Oregon.

No reliable acreage is listed for Crowcamp Reservoir, so begin with visible cover and the first clear change in depth.

Fish and Baits

Fish listed for Crowcamp Reservoir include Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, Largemouth Bass, Redside Shiner, and Rainbow Trout.

During a return to the best bank near a rocky edge while the water is rising, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.

During a bright afternoon near a creek-side turn after a cold night, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.

During the last hour of daylight near a small drop where two features meet, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.

During a quick scouting pass near a firm-bottom flat away from empty shoreline, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.

How to Read the Water

During a calm morning near scattered wood where food is present, 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.

Season by Season

During a cool spring morning near a shallow shelf with light wind, 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.

A Simple Tackle Plan

During a check of nearby water near the first break before changing depth, 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 cool spring morning near a clean gravel patch where food is present, record the wind, water color, depth where the lure was hit, 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.
