Berge Reservoir is a reservoir in Washington, near Skamania County.
Berge Reservoir is a reservoir in Skamania County, Washington and covers about 3.5 acres and holds roughly 26 acre-feet.
The small size of Berge Reservoir makes quiet casts and short moves more useful than carrying a pile of tackle.
Fish listed for Berge Reservoir include Black Crappie, Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, Coastal Cutthroat Trout, Common Carp, Largemouth Bass, Largescale Sucker, Northern Pikeminnow, Peamouth Chub, Pumpkinseed, Smallmouth Bass, Rainbow Trout, and Yellow Perch.
During a bright afternoon near a shaded bank with a moving bait, keep a small jig tipped with a worm or minnow close to bottom on a shelf for yellow perch.
During a short evening pass near a shaded bank with light wind, fish a small jig or minnow around wood, weeds, and sharp little drops for black crappie.
During a quick scouting pass near a windblown shore before changing areas, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.
During a slow shoreline pass near a soft-to-hard bottom change with light wind, drag a tube or Ned rig across rock and the hard edge of a point for smallmouth bass.
During the start of a weather change near a clean gravel patch with a moving bait, Other targets listed here include Largemouth Bass, Brown Bullhead, Rainbow Trout, and Common Carp; give each one its own bait and depth instead of trying to catch everything with the same rig.
During a cool spring morning near the outside weed line in clear water, start where two things meet: weeds and open water, rock and mud, a point and a drop, or clear water and dirty water; fish that edge at more than one depth before leaving it.
While using a quick look at firm bottom near a shaded bank while the water is falling, 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 cold winter outing near a soft-to-hard bottom change while the water is rising, 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 first hour near a clean gravel patch near firm bottom, record the wind, water color, depth where fish were holding, 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.
