Shipley Pool is a reservoir in Washington County, Oregon.
The recorded size of Shipley Pool is missing; fish one short bank carefully before deciding whether a wider search makes sense.
Fish listed for Shipley Pool include Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, and Largemouth Bass.
During a quick scouting pass near a narrow cove where two features meet, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.
During a cold winter outing near an open-water edge in stained water, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
During an overcast morning near the first break before changing depth, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.
During the first pass near a channel bend 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.
During the final pass near a firm-bottom flat away from empty shoreline, 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 a calm morning near scattered wood before changing depth, a medium spinning rod, 8-pound line, a small box of jigs, a few crankbaits, and a simple bottom rig cover most situations; change depth or speed before changing every piece of tackle.
During the first pass near the mouth of a pocket away from empty shoreline, 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.
