Scab Reservoir is a reservoir in Crook County, Oregon.
The recorded size of Scab Reservoir is missing; fish one short bank carefully before deciding whether a wider search makes sense.
Fish and Baits
Fish listed for Scab Reservoir include Brown Bullhead, Largemouth Bass, Rainbow Trout, and Tui Chub.
During a cool spring morning 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 cold winter outing 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 slow shoreline pass near scattered wood near visible bait, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
How to Read the Water
During a steady fall day near a shaded bank in clear water, Make one shallow pass and one deeper pass on the same shoreline; that shows whether fish are tight to cover or using the first break.
Season by Season
During a slow shoreline pass near a channel bend in stained water, 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.
A Simple Tackle Plan
During a check of nearby water near a narrow cove 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 careful second pass near an open-water edge in stained water, record the wind, water color, depth where fish bit, 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.
