Roadside Reservoir in the northern part of Crook County is a reservoir in Oregon.
During the last hour of daylight near a quiet corner with a moving bait, use the shape you can see at Roadside Reservoir: check the best cover, the first drop, and one open-water line before moving.
During an overcast morning near a shaded bank before changing depth, fish listed for Roadside Reservoir include Brown Bullhead, Largemouth Bass, Rainbow Trout, and Tui Chub.
During a bright afternoon near a soft-to-hard bottom change before changing areas, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
During a careful second pass near a channel bend in stained water, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.
During a warm summer afternoon near the mouth of a pocket near firm bottom, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
During a careful second pass near a shallow shelf near firm bottom, 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 a slow shoreline pass near a shaded bank under flat light, 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.
During a cold winter outing near the downwind side near firm bottom, 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 slow shoreline pass near the outside weed line after warm rain, record the wind, water color, depth of the best 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.
