Fish species in Lyons Reservoir

Lyons Reservoir in the northern part of Coos County is a reservoir in Oregon.

The recorded size of Lyons Reservoir is missing; fish one short bank carefully before deciding whether a wider search makes sense.

Fish and Baits

During a check of nearby water near a rocky edge while the water is falling, fish listed for Lyons Reservoir include Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, Cutthroat Trout, and Largemouth Bass.

During a careful second pass near the mouth of a pocket with light wind, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.

During a warm summer afternoon near an open-water edge before changing areas, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.

During a steady fall day near a shallow shelf with a slow lure, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.

How to Read the Water

During a careful second pass near a protected point in stained water, 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.

Season by Season

During the final pass near a protected point with stable weather, 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 bright afternoon near the first break close to shade, 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 careful second pass near a soft-to-hard bottom change near firm bottom, 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.
