Sweet Reservoir is a reservoir in Polk County, Oregon.
No reliable acreage is listed for Sweet Reservoir, so begin with visible cover and the first clear change in depth.
Fish listed for Sweet Reservoir include Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, Cutthroat Trout, and Largemouth Bass.
During a low-light period near the first break with stable weather, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.
During the first pass near an open-water edge away from empty shoreline, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
During the first pass near a small drop away from empty shoreline, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.
During a slow shoreline pass near a shaded bank under flat light, Make one shallow pass and one deeper pass on the same shoreline; that shows whether fish are tight to cover or using the first break.
During a careful second pass near the mouth of a pocket where two features meet, 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.
During the first hour near a shallow shelf with light wind, 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 first pass near a firm-bottom flat after warm rain, record the wind, water color, depth beside useful cover, 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.
