McCoy Reservoir is a reservoir in Klamath County, Oregon.
The recorded size of McCoy Reservoir is missing; fish one short bank carefully before deciding whether a wider search makes sense.
Fish and Baits
Fish listed for McCoy Reservoir include Brown Bullhead, Brown Trout, Largemouth Bass, Rainbow Trout, Tui Chub, and Yellow Perch.
During a short evening pass near a shallow shelf in clear water, keep a small jig tipped with a worm or minnow close to bottom on a shelf for yellow perch.
During a cold winter outing near an open-water edge with light wind, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
During a check of nearby water near the edge of deeper water in clear water, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.
During the first hour near the mouth of a pocket under flat light, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
During a check of nearby water near a small drop after a cold night, Other targets listed here include Brown Trout; give each one its own bait and depth instead of trying to catch everything with the same rig.
How to Read the Water
During a check of nearby water near a narrow cove while the water is rising, 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 a short evening pass near a windblown shore while the water is falling, 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 careful second pass near a clean gravel patch with light wind, 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 protected point with stable weather, record the wind, water color, lure depth that worked, 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.
