Powers Pond is a reservoir in Coos County, Oregon.
Use the shape you can see at Powers Pond: check the best cover, the first drop, and one open-water line before moving.
Fish listed for Powers Pond include Black Crappie, Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, Cutthroat Trout, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pikeminnow, and Yellow Perch.
During a quick scouting pass near the first break in clear water, keep a small jig tipped with a worm or minnow close to bottom on a shelf for yellow perch.
During a cool spring morning near a windblown shore with a moving bait, fish a small jig or minnow around wood, weeds, and sharp little drops for black crappie.
During a methodical search near a quiet corner with light wind, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.
During a low-light period near a shallow shelf before changing depth, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
During an overcast morning near a shaded bank away from empty shoreline, Other targets listed here include Brown Bullhead; give each one its own bait and depth instead of trying to catch everything with the same rig.
During a cold winter outing near a rocky edge after warm rain, Rainbow Trout have also been stocked here; that proves fish were released, but it does not promise that they are still common or easy to catch.
During the final pass near scattered wood where two features meet, 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 the final pass near a narrow cove in stained water, 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.
During the first pass near scattered wood under flat light, 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 calm morning near the mouth of a pocket in stained water, 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.
