Wickiup Reservoir in Lake County is a reservoir in Oregon.
Without a dependable size figure for Wickiup Reservoir, weeds, rock, water color, and nearby depth are the best starting clues.
Fish listed for Wickiup Reservoir include Brown Bullhead, Largemouth Bass, Rainbow Trout, and Tui Chub.
During a quick scouting pass near a soft-to-hard bottom change near firm bottom, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
During a methodical search near a clean gravel patch where food is present, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.
During a quick scouting pass near scattered wood near firm bottom, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
During a methodical search near a creek-side turn under flat light, use wind as a clue; a light push can carry food toward a bank, but hard wind may muddy it, so look for a clean edge near a point or protected pocket.
During a slow shoreline pass near a shaded bank away from empty shoreline, 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.
During a steady fall day near the edge of deeper water beside useful cover, 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 final pass near the downwind side after warm rain, 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.
