Fish species in Renound Reservoir

Renound Reservoir is a reservoir in Linn County, Oregon.

Without a dependable size figure for Renound Reservoir, weeds, rock, water color, and nearby depth are the best starting clues.

Fish and Baits

Fish listed for Renound Reservoir include Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, and Largemouth Bass.

During a quick scouting pass near a rocky edge after warm rain, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.

During a careful second pass near a rocky 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 a creek-side turn with light wind, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.

How to Read the Water

During a short evening pass near a creek-side turn after warm rain, 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 check of nearby water near the first break in stained water, spring runoff can add color and pull fish toward fresh water; green weeds and the first drop become stronger summer targets; in fall, follow bait toward points and shallow flats, while winter rewards a slower search.

A Simple Tackle Plan

During the last hour of daylight near a firm-bottom flat away from empty shoreline, 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 low-light period near a windblown shore with light wind, 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.
