Teufel Reservoir

Teufel Reservoir is a reservoir in Washington County, Oregon.

The recorded size of Teufel Reservoir is missing; fish one short bank carefully before deciding whether a wider search makes sense.

Fish and Baits

Fish listed for Teufel Reservoir include Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, and Largemouth Bass.

During the start of a weather change near the mouth of a pocket in clear water, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.

During the last hour of daylight near a firm-bottom flat before changing areas, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.

During the last hour of daylight near the downwind side in clear water, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.

How to Read the Water

During a low-light period near an open-water edge where food is present, 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 slow shoreline pass near a shallow shelf in stained water, 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.

A Simple Tackle Plan

During a return to the best bank near a shallow shelf while the water is falling, a medium spinning rod, 8-pound line, a small box of jigs, a few crankbaits, and a simple bottom rig cover most situations; change depth or speed before changing every piece of tackle.

During a return to the best bank near a rocky edge under flat light, record the wind, water color, depth of the best 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.
