Fish species in Guthrie Reservoir

Guthrie Reservoir is a reservoir in Washington County, Oregon.

Use the shape you can see at Guthrie Reservoir: check the best cover, the first drop, and one open-water line before moving.

Fish and Baits

Fish listed for Guthrie Reservoir include Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, and Largemouth Bass.

During a steady fall day near the downwind side under flat light, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.

During a calm morning near a creek-side turn beside useful cover, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.

During a check of nearby water near the edge of deeper water before changing depth, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.

How to Read the Water

During a bright afternoon near the mouth of a pocket while the water is falling, 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 steady fall day near the outside weed line beside useful cover, 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.

A Simple Tackle Plan

During the first pass near a protected point with stable weather, 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 bright afternoon near a protected point in clear water, 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.
