Spence Reservoir is a reservoir in Oregon, near Union County.
Spence Reservoir is a reservoir in Union County, Oregon.
No reliable acreage is listed for Spence Reservoir, so begin with visible cover and the first clear change in depth.
Fish listed for Spence Reservoir include Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, Largemouth Bass, Redside Shiner, and Rainbow Trout.
During a low-light period near a protected point in clear water, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.
During a return to the best bank near scattered wood near firm bottom, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
During the first hour near a shallow shelf with stable weather, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.
During a warm summer afternoon near a channel bend near visible bait, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
During a cool spring morning near scattered wood close to shade, 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 quick scouting pass near an open-water edge before changing depth, 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 an overcast morning near the first break 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 windblown shore beside useful cover, record the wind, water color, depth of the working lure, 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.
