Fish and Useful Baits at Sayre Reservoir
Fish reported from Sayre Reservoir include black crappie, bluegill, channel catfish, largemouth bass, and yellow perch.
Bass
Largemouth bass in Sayre Reservoir can be searched with a spinnerbait before a Texas-rigged worm is worked through the best cover.
Crappie, Perch and Sunfish
For Sayre Reservoir crappie, hold a 1/16-ounce jig or minnow beside wood instead of dragging it through snags. Bluegill in Sayre Reservoir are practical targets with a worm or small jig suspended beside shallow cover. Yellow perch in Sayre Reservoir are commonly caught with a small jig tipped with a minnow or worm near bottom.
Catfish, Bullheads and Carp
After dark, try a nightcrawler or cut bait near a channel turn when fishing Sayre Reservoir for channel catfish.
A Simple Fishing Plan for Sayre Reservoir
Fish one protected section slowly before testing the windblown side, because the two banks can have very different water color on Sayre Reservoir. Then check the original creek route, the dam end and any point on Sayre Reservoir that reaches toward deeper water.
When to Fish Sayre Reservoir
Spring at Sayre Reservoir favors warming coves, feeder mouths and protected spawning banks. Once summer heat settles over Sayre Reservoir, work the deepest active cover instead of assuming every fish has moved to the bottom. Windblown points on Sayre Reservoir become worth checking when autumn baitfish move shallow.
