Fish species in Johnson Reservoir Number One

Johnson Reservoir Number One is a reservoir in Klamath County, Oregon.

Without a dependable size figure for Johnson Reservoir Number One, weeds, rock, water color, and nearby depth are the best starting clues.

Fish and Baits

Fish listed for Johnson Reservoir Number One include Brook Trout, and Rainbow Trout.

During a low-light period near the outside weed line 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 low-light period near a shaded bank where two features meet, 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 the first hour near the first break with a slow lure, 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 a careful second pass near a shallow shelf 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 methodical search near a protected point after warm rain, record the wind, water color, depth that held fish, 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.
