Miller Reservoir is a reservoir in Washington, near Stevens County.
Miller Reservoir is a reservoir in Stevens County, Washington and covers about 10 acres and holds roughly 62 acre-feet.
The small size of Miller Reservoir makes quiet casts and short moves more useful than carrying a pile of tackle.
Fish listed for Miller Reservoir include Black Crappie, Bluegill, Brook Trout, Brown Bullhead, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pikeminnow, Pumpkinseed, Redside Shiner, Smallmouth Bass, Rainbow Trout, Westslope Cutthroat Trout, and Yellow Perch.
During the final pass near a protected point with a slow lure, keep a small jig tipped with a worm or minnow close to bottom on a shelf for yellow perch.
During an overcast morning near a quiet corner close to shade, fish a small jig or minnow around wood, weeds, and sharp little drops for black crappie.
During a cool spring morning near a windblown shore after warm rain, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.
During the final pass near the outside weed line away from empty shoreline, drag a tube or Ned rig across rock and the hard edge of a point for smallmouth bass.
During a calm morning near the edge of deeper water beside useful cover, Other targets listed here include Largemouth Bass, Brown Bullhead, and Rainbow Trout; give each one its own bait and depth instead of trying to catch everything with the same rig.
During a check of nearby water near an open-water edge with a slow lure, 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 brief open-water pass near the edge of deeper water under flat light, 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 check of nearby water near a shallow shelf near visible bait, 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 final pass near a windblown shore where food is present, record the wind, water color, depth where the lure was hit, 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.
