Emerson Reservoir is a reservoir in Polk County, Oregon.

Fish listed for Emerson Reservoir include Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, Cutthroat Trout, and Largemouth Bass.
During the first pass near a small drop before changing depth, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.
During an overcast morning near the downwind side after a cold night, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
During a calm morning near a small drop with light wind, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.
During a check of nearby water near a protected point after warm rain, Make one shallow pass and one deeper pass on the same shoreline; that shows whether fish are tight to cover or using the first break.
During a bright afternoon near a windblown shore while the water is rising, 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.
During a slow shoreline pass near a clean gravel patch where two features meet, 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 short evening pass near a small drop after warm rain, record the wind, water color, depth beside useful cover, 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.
