Section Eight Reservoir is a reservoir in Crook County, Oregon.
No reliable acreage is listed for Section Eight Reservoir, so begin with visible cover and the first clear change in depth.
Fish listed for Section Eight Reservoir include Brown Bullhead, Largemouth Bass, Rainbow Trout, and Tui Chub.
During a warm summer afternoon near a narrow cove near visible bait, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
During the first hour near a creek-side turn while the water is falling, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.
During a return to the best bank near a shallow shelf with a moving bait, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
During a check of nearby water near a quiet corner in clear water, 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 calm morning near the first break after a cold night, 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 calm morning near a rocky edge under flat light, 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 edge of deeper water close to shade, 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.
