Fish species in Strawberry Reservoir

Strawberry Reservoir is a reservoir in Lake County, Oregon.

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

Fish and Baits

Fish listed for Strawberry Reservoir include Brown Bullhead, Brown Trout, Largemouth Bass, Rainbow Trout, Tui Chub, and Yellow Perch.

During a cold winter outing near scattered wood with light wind, keep a small jig tipped with a worm or minnow close to bottom on a shelf for yellow perch.

During an overcast morning near the downwind side where two features meet, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.

During a calm morning near a protected point while the water is falling, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.

During the first pass near a clean gravel patch away from empty shoreline, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.

During the start of a weather change near scattered wood with a slow lure, Other targets listed here include Brown Trout; give each one its own bait and depth instead of trying to catch everything with the same rig.

How to Read the Water

During the final pass near a quiet corner away from empty shoreline, 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 a cool spring morning near a small drop where food is present, spring fishing starts with warming banks, creek mouths, and shallow cover; summer usually pushes the better bite toward the outside weed edge or a nearby drop; fall can bring bait back to windblown points, while winter calls for smaller moves and a slower pace.

A Simple Tackle Plan

During a cool spring morning near scattered wood where two features meet, 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 methodical search near a creek-side turn with light wind, record the wind, water color, depth where the bait worked, 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.
