Jackson Quarry Reservoir is a reservoir in Washington County, Oregon.
No reliable acreage is listed for Jackson Quarry Reservoir, so begin with visible cover and the first clear change in depth.
Fish and Baits
Fish listed for Jackson Quarry Reservoir include Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, and Largemouth Bass.
During a cold winter outing near a soft-to-hard bottom change where two features meet, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.
During the final pass near a shaded bank where two features meet, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
During a methodical search near the edge of deeper water away from empty shoreline, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.
How to Read the Water
During a short evening pass near a creek-side turn 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.
Season by Season
During the final pass near a quiet corner with light wind, spring fishing starts with warming banks, creek mouths, and shallow cover; summer usually pushes the better bite toward the outside weed edge or a nearby drop; fall can bring bait back to windblown points, while winter calls for smaller moves and a slower pace.
A Simple Tackle Plan
During a short evening pass near the edge of deeper water where food is present, 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 calm morning near a firm-bottom flat with a moving bait, 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.
