Skyline Reservoirs is a reservoir in Clackamas County, Oregon.
Use the shape you can see at Skyline Reservoirs: check the best cover, the first drop, and one open-water line before moving.
Fish and Baits
Fish listed for Skyline Reservoirs include Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, and Largemouth Bass.
During a steady fall day near a shaded bank under flat light, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.
During a slow shoreline pass near the outside weed line near visible bait, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
During the first pass near the edge of deeper water beside useful cover, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.
How to Read the Water
During a short evening pass near a shaded bank 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 the first hour near a channel bend before changing depth, 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 the final pass near a small drop under flat light, 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 a slow shoreline pass near a firm-bottom flat in clear water, record the wind, water color, depth where the lure was hit, 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.
