Jorgensen Reservoir is a reservoir in Douglas County, Washington.
Jorgensen Reservoir is a reservoir in Douglas County, Washington and covers about 30 acres and holds roughly 30 acre-feet.
Jorgensen Reservoir can be broken down in a few passes: shallow cover, the first break, and the deepest useful water.
During the start of a weather change near a windblown shore with a moving bait, the fish mix is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.
During a methodical search near the first break in stained water, begin with one slow bottom presentation and one moving bait, then let bites show whether fish are holding close to cover or roaming open water.
During a careful second pass near a protected point in clear water, 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.
While using a careful look at water color near a soft-to-hard bottom change close to shade, 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 steady fall day near a soft-to-hard bottom change before changing areas, a medium spinning rod, 8-pound line, a small box of jigs, a few crankbaits, and a simple bottom rig cover most situations; change depth or speed before changing every piece of tackle.
During a check of nearby water near a shallow shelf with a slow lure, record the wind, water color, depth beside useful cover, 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.
