Wigwam Reservoir

Wigwam Reservoir in Grant County is a reservoir in Oregon.

The recorded size of Wigwam Reservoir is missing; fish one short bank carefully before deciding whether a wider search makes sense.

Fish and Baits

Fish listed for Wigwam Reservoir include Brown Bullhead, Largemouth Bass, Rainbow Trout, and Tui Chub.

During an overcast morning near a soft-to-hard bottom change with a moving bait, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.

During a short evening pass near scattered wood near visible bait, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.

During a methodical search near a small drop near firm bottom, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.

How to Read the Water

During a low-light period near a windblown shore with light wind, 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.

Season by Season

During the first pass near a rocky edge 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.

A Simple Tackle Plan

During a calm morning near the first break with a slow lure, 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 calm morning near a protected point where two features meet, record the wind, water color, depth of the best pass, 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.
