Skagway Reservoir is a reservoir in Oregon, near Grant County.
Skagway Reservoir is a reservoir in Grant County, Oregon.
No reliable acreage is listed for Skagway Reservoir, so begin with visible cover and the first clear change in depth.
Fish listed for Skagway Reservoir include Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, Largemouth Bass, Redside Shiner, and Rainbow Trout.
During a low-light period near an open-water edge while the water is falling, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.
During a careful second pass near a shaded bank before changing areas, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
During a warm summer afternoon near a quiet corner near visible bait, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.
During a cold winter outing near a firm-bottom flat beside useful cover, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
During a cool spring morning near the outside weed line where food is present, 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 a creek-side turn close to shade, spring runoff can add color and pull fish toward fresh water; green weeds and the first drop become stronger summer targets; in fall, follow bait toward points and shallow flats, while winter rewards a slower search.
During a short evening pass near a clean gravel patch near visible bait, 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 an open-water edge before changing depth, record the wind, water color, depth of the first good 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.
