Grohs Reservoir Fishing Guide, Lake County, Oregon

• Overview

  Grohs Reservoir is a Lake County water, in Oregon. It stands 5,036 feet above sea level. Around 85 acres of surface means several distinct areas to work. Shoreline comes to about 1.4 miles, small enough to learn in a day. Lakeview lies 33 miles from the water. The nearest city of size is Chico, 165 miles away. It lies deep inside the county rather than near an edge.

• Where to Fish on Grohs Reservoir

  Depth remains unrecorded, so treat the first session as a survey. The old creek line under the surface is the feature worth finding. Built water gives depth close in, which suits a bank angler. Fish documented in Lake County include rainbow trout, Sacramento sucker, warner sucker and brown bullhead. Species recorded across the county may be limited to a few waters. Grohs Reservoir gives up more to patience than to distance.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Typical August readings run about 64°F; by January the average is down near 29°F. The year turns gently, without extremes at either end. Some winters give nothing at all, so plan for open water. The cooler months are the comfortable ones to fish here. Keep it in mind when planning a trip to Grohs Reservoir.

• Tackle & Baits

  Who may fish here is not settled in anything we hold. Mapped as intermittent, it fills after rain and shrinks between. There is no recorded infrastructure here; expect to find your own way in. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. State or provincial rules still apply whatever the bank status. Where the way in crosses private ground, ask first. If the gate is shut, Fourmile Reservoir at 3.5 miles is the nearest alternative. For Grohs Reservoir in particular, ask before you travel.
