Warrenton Reservoir is a reservoir in Clatsop County, Oregon.
No reliable acreage is listed for Warrenton Reservoir, so begin with visible cover and the first clear change in depth.
Fish and Baits
Fish listed for Warrenton Reservoir include Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, Cutthroat Trout, and Largemouth Bass.
During a check of nearby water near the outside weed line near firm bottom, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.
During a quick scouting pass near the first break before changing areas, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
During an overcast morning near a channel bend in stained 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 warm summer afternoon near a rocky edge with stable weather, 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 low-light period near a small drop in clear 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 cool spring morning near a creek-side turn before changing areas, 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 small drop in clear water, record the wind, water color, water depth at the strike, 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.
