Widman Reservoir is a reservoir in Baker County, Oregon.
The recorded size of Widman Reservoir is missing; fish one short bank carefully before deciding whether a wider search makes sense.
Fish listed for Widman Reservoir include Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, Largemouth Bass, Redside Shiner, and Rainbow Trout.
During a cool spring morning near a clean gravel patch in clear water, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.
During a return to the best bank near a firm-bottom flat with a moving bait, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
During a methodical search near a shallow shelf with a slow lure, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.
During a warm summer afternoon near a shallow shelf with a moving bait, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
During a check of nearby water near a protected point where food is present, 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 bright afternoon near a firm-bottom flat where food is present, 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.
During a quick scouting pass near scattered wood after a cold night, 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 quick scouting pass near the mouth of a pocket while the water is rising, record the wind, water color, depth where the bait worked, 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.
