Summit Reservoir in Crook County is a reservoir in Oregon.
Use the shape you can see at Summit Reservoir: check the best cover, the first drop, and one open-water line before moving.
Fish listed for Summit Reservoir include Brown Bullhead, Largemouth Bass, Rainbow Trout, and Tui Chub.
During a short evening pass near the outside weed line under flat light, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
During an overcast morning near a soft-to-hard bottom change after a cold night, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.
During a steady fall day near a creek-side turn beside useful cover, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
During a quick scouting pass near the mouth of a pocket after a cold night, 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.
During the final pass near a small drop near visible bait, 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.
During a check of nearby water near the mouth of a pocket 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 the final pass near an open-water edge after a cold night, 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.
