Fish species in South Spring Reservoir

South Spring Reservoir is a reservoir in Lake County, Oregon.

No reliable acreage is listed for South Spring Reservoir, so begin with visible cover and the first clear change in depth.

Fish and Baits

Fish listed for South Spring Reservoir include Rainbow Trout, and Tui Chub.

During a steady fall day near a shallow shelf before changing areas, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.

How to Read the Water

During a short evening pass near a shallow shelf close to shade, do not let the deepest number control the whole day; nearby cover, firm bottom, and food usually matter more than the deepest hole by itself.

Season by Season

During a warm summer afternoon near a shaded bank 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.

A Simple Tackle Plan

During a cool spring morning near a narrow cove beside useful cover, 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 the downwind side with a slow lure, record the wind, water color, water depth at the strike, 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.
