Wood Fishing

Bend Oregon is better known for its trout fishing, but also supports some lakes have good populations of Largemouth and Smallmouth Bass. Water bodies within one hour drive from Bend to be held under Crane Prairie Reservoir, wickiup Reservoir, Davis Lake, Prineville Reservoir, barn and Lake Billy Chinook Reservoir (Round Dam).

Crane Prairie Reservoir is better known for its large rainbow and brook trout. However, the trees are full of stumps, standing and fallen. It is a Largemouth Bass heaven. It is a relatively shallow body of water with reeds and water lilies and a large amount of forest cover. The deepest part near the dam is 16 to 20 feet deep, depending on the amount of water in the tank at any given time.

The reservoir is located in the Cascade Mountains southwest of Bend. It is surrounded by pine and is compatible with a healthy life of the wild population. You can always count on innumerable see ospreys, bald eagles and a number of waterfowl. Eagle fisherwoman and great blue heron nest both Crane Prairie.

Crane Prairie is not a lake throughout the year and often freezes in winter. Since it is a trout Lake of Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife fishing closes in late October and open again until the third Saturday of April. There are years that is partially icy on opening day.

The belief is not largemouth bass, do not bite until June or July, "when the water warms. However, some of the best fishing on Crane is low in May. The author has many more trapped under five pounds in late April and May. The place to fish is the northern part of the reservoir surface, where water temperatures can be in the low to fifty years, from 2 to 6 feet of water.

Early morning in April and May are not the time to fish for bass. Early afternoon is the best time to start. The water in Crane is very clear at this time of year and it is difficult to get a bite if the sun rises and the wind is calm. The silt and mud bottom with plentiful amounts of wood covered with absorbing heat in these cold spring days.

If you are calm and sunny best placed to put your rod down, drag your engine high and start looking for fish. They are often over fallen logs sunning. Also root balls are numerous trees down that load of fish. You do not see any small fish in this time of year. It will be strictly pre-spawning females.

Once you start seeing fish slow down and begin to look more closely. You will find several fish in the same area and do not want to scare too. Once have found a few areas that contain fish be sure and mark them so you can return when the wind picks up and puts a little chop on the water.

This does not is necessary to mark all fish. Just follow the general area where they saw concentrations of fish. Back to the fields and records and establish fish balls root. Templates Black weedless with a trailer or 6 inch black worms are the ticket this time of year. Trailer favorite author template is 5 inch black with blue Flake double tail grub.

Crane Prairie is larger under the rules of Oregon. The largest low-captured by the author was 6.5 pounds. He has been caught Largemouth and released in excess of 8 pounds in some local tournaments under. These are not your normal course and tournaments under arms embargo as it is located 10 miles per hour speed limit Crane Prairie Reservoir.

In the 1990s under the average for the spring was in the range of 3 to 5 pounds. Now the average is 2 to 4 pounds with about 5 pounds thrown in Crane Prairie Largemouth usually generates around the full moon in late June. Spawn and post spawn is usually when the fish "start to bite" for the public in general and anyone can catch several small males that bite aggressively.

After spawning of a large fall in low back to deeper water around the channels and become harder to detect. Spinner baits and crank baits come into play at this time of year. The water also begins to get some color and is not as clear. Aquatic plants and mosses are also beginning to grow even more difficult to fish and worms templates.

Fall and late fall are difficult times for catching fish as the water is low by the use of irrigation and begins to clear again. Spring is definitely the best time to take large Mouth Bass in Crane Prairie Reservoir.
