Weaver Reservoir

Weaver Reservoir in Douglas County is a reservoir in Oregon and covers about 9.95 acres and holds roughly 55 acre-feet.

The small size of Weaver Reservoir makes quiet casts and short moves more useful than carrying a pile of tackle.

Fish and Baits

Fish listed for Weaver Reservoir include Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, Cutthroat Trout, and Largemouth Bass.

During a short evening pass near a shaded bank while the water is rising, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.

During a steady fall day near the first break near visible bait, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.

During the final pass near a creek-side turn after warm rain, 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 downwind side where two features meet, 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.

Season by Season

During a careful second pass near the downwind side before changing depth, 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 short evening pass near a windblown shore with a moving bait, 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 last hour of daylight near a rocky edge after warm rain, record the wind, water color, depth where the lure was hit, 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.
