Pewee Creek Reservoir

Pewee Creek Reservoir is a reservoir in Grant County, Oregon.

No reliable acreage is listed for Pewee Creek Reservoir, so begin with visible cover and the first clear change in depth.

Fish and Baits

Fish listed for Pewee Creek Reservoir include Brown Bullhead, Largemouth Bass, Rainbow Trout, and Tui Chub.

During a short evening pass near the downwind side while the water is rising, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.

During a cool spring morning near the downwind side where food is present, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.

During the final pass near a creek-side turn in stained water, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.

How to Read the Water

During an overcast morning near a small drop before changing depth, 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.

Season by Season

During a quick scouting pass near an open-water edge near visible bait, Early in the year, protected water and the first warm afternoon can be the best clues; as the water heats up, check deeper edges without assuming every fish is on the bottom; cooling fall water often makes points and firm banks useful again.

A Simple Tackle Plan

During a warm summer afternoon near a firm-bottom flat away from empty shoreline, 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 low-light period near a narrow cove with stable weather, record the wind, water color, depth of the first good pass, 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.
