McBee Reservoir is a reservoir in Polk County, Oregon.
The recorded size of McBee Reservoir is missing; fish one short bank carefully before deciding whether a wider search makes sense.
Fish listed for McBee Reservoir include Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, Cutthroat Trout, and Largemouth Bass.
During a steady fall day near a firm-bottom flat beside useful cover, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.
During a slow shoreline pass near a small drop after warm rain, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
During the first pass near a rocky edge before changing depth, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.
During a methodical search near a channel bend in clear water, 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 calm morning near a shaded bank after warm rain, 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.
During the last hour of daylight near the edge of deeper water before changing depth, 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 warm summer afternoon near a narrow cove in stained water, 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.
