Fish species in Seaside Reservoir

Seaside Reservoir is a reservoir in Clatsop County, Oregon.

No reliable acreage is listed for Seaside Reservoir, so begin with visible cover and the first clear change in depth.

Fish and Baits

Fish listed for Seaside Reservoir include Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, Cutthroat Trout, and Largemouth Bass.

During an overcast morning near a shaded bank close to shade, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.

During a quick scouting pass near the first break where food is present, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.

During a steady fall day near scattered wood where food is present, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.

How to Read the Water

During a quick scouting pass near an open-water edge while the water is falling, 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 bright afternoon near the outside weed line with a moving bait, 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 steady fall day near a quiet corner in stained water, 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 a narrow cove with stable weather, record the wind, water color, water depth at the strike, 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.
