Minear Reservoir is a reservoir in Oregon, near Jackson County.
Minear Reservoir is a reservoir in Jackson County, Oregon.
The recorded size of Minear Reservoir is missing; fish one short bank carefully before deciding whether a wider search makes sense.
Fish listed for Minear Reservoir include Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, and Largemouth Bass.
During the final pass near a soft-to-hard bottom change with light wind, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.
During a cold winter outing near the first break while the water is falling, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
During a return to the best bank near a protected point away from empty shoreline, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.
During a methodical search near an open-water edge with a moving bait, 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.
During the first hour near a protected point close to shade, 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 a short evening pass near a windblown shore before changing areas, a medium spinning rod, 8-pound line, a small box of jigs, a few crankbaits, and a simple bottom rig cover most situations; change depth or speed before changing every piece of tackle.
During a bright afternoon near a clean gravel patch under flat light, record the wind, water color, depth near the strongest 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.
