May Reservoir is a reservoir in Klamath County, Oregon.
Use the shape you can see at May Reservoir: check the best cover, the first drop, and one open-water line before moving.
Fish listed for May Reservoir include Rainbow Trout, and Tui Chub.
During the last hour of daylight near the mouth of a pocket close to shade, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
During the first hour near a small drop with a moving bait, use wind as a clue; a light push can carry food toward a bank, but hard wind may muddy it, so look for a clean edge near a point or protected pocket.
During a return to the best bank near a clean gravel patch beside useful cover, 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 cool spring morning near a quiet corner 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 the first hour near a shallow shelf 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.
