Ross Reservoir in Crook County is a reservoir in Oregon.
Use the shape you can see at Ross Reservoir: check the best cover, the first drop, and one open-water line before moving.
Fish listed for Ross Reservoir include Brown Bullhead, Largemouth Bass, Rainbow Trout, and Tui Chub.
During a calm morning near a soft-to-hard bottom change while the water is falling, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
During an overcast morning near a creek-side turn near visible bait, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.
During the first hour near a clean gravel patch after warm rain, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
During a low-light period near a clean gravel patch with a slow lure, do not let the deepest number control the whole day; nearby cover, firm bottom, and food usually matter more than the deepest hole by itself.
During a cold winter outing near a shallow shelf while the water is rising, 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 an overcast morning near a rocky edge near visible bait, 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 the first hour near the first break near firm bottom, record the wind, water color, depth of the first bite, 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.
