Vincent Reservoirs

Vincent Reservoirs is a reservoir in Jackson County, Oregon.

Without a dependable size figure for Vincent Reservoirs, weeds, rock, water color, and nearby depth are the best starting clues.

Fish and Baits

Fish listed for Vincent Reservoirs include Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, and Largemouth Bass.

During a return to the best bank near the outside weed line with stable weather, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.

During a low-light period near the outside weed line before changing areas, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.

During a short evening pass near a creek-side turn close to shade, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.

How to Read the Water

During an overcast morning near the first break in clear water, 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 careful second pass near an open-water edge with light wind, 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 calm morning near a shaded bank close to shade, 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 warm summer afternoon near a clean gravel patch close to shade, 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.
