Davenport Pond is a reservoir in Linn County, Oregon.
No reliable acreage is listed for Davenport Pond, so begin with visible cover and the first clear change in depth.
Fish and Baits
Fish listed for Davenport Pond include Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, and Largemouth Bass.
During a check of nearby water near scattered wood before changing depth, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.
During the final pass near an open-water edge near visible bait, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
During the last hour of daylight near the mouth of a pocket under flat light, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.
How to Read the Water
During a check of nearby water near a small drop under flat light, 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 a check of nearby water near a creek-side turn in stained water, 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 an overcast morning near a quiet corner near firm bottom, a medium spinning rod, 8-pound line, a small box of jigs, a few crankbaits, and a simple bottom rig cover most situations; change depth or speed before changing every piece of tackle.
During a slow shoreline pass near a creek-side turn where food is present, record the wind, water color, lure depth that worked, 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.
