Shumway Lake is a reservoir in Crook County, Oregon.
The recorded size of Shumway Lake is missing; fish one short bank carefully before deciding whether a wider search makes sense.
Fish listed for Shumway Lake include Brown Bullhead, Largemouth Bass, Rainbow Trout, and Tui Chub.
During a careful second pass near a channel bend near visible bait, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
During a slow shoreline pass near a quiet corner near firm bottom, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.
During a low-light period near an open-water edge with light wind, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
During the last hour of daylight near the downwind side before changing depth, 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 the first pass near a shaded bank after warm rain, 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 the last hour of daylight near the edge of deeper water where food is present, 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 low-light period near a rocky edge in clear water, 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.
