Mompano Reservoir Fishing near Beavercreek, Oregon

• Overview

  Mompano Reservoir sits in Clackamas County, out in Oregon. The setting is pine and hardwood on every side. Around 52 acres of surface means several distinct areas to work. The whole outline is near 1.3 miles, and most of it is walkable. Size puts it in the front rank of our Clackamas County list. Beavercreek lies 2.2 miles from the water. The nearest city of size is Gresham, 14 miles away. It lies deep inside the county rather than near an edge.

• Where to Fish on Mompano Reservoir

  Our records hold no depth for this water. Held water runs deepest at the wall and shallows back to the inflow. Rip-rap along the wall holds fish that the open bank never does. Species logged across Clackamas County include Coho salmon, rainbow trout and Chinook salmon. At least one recorded species is protected in parts of its range; read the local rules before targeting anything. Take Mompano Reservoir a stretch at a time.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect August to average close to 67°F, with December the cold end at about 40°F. Cooler months are the productive ones on most of this water. Late winter and spring fish steadiest here. June to September is hot work, so the first and last hours are what count. It sets the rhythm of the year at Mompano Reservoir.

• Tackle & Baits

  Ownership and access are not documented in what we hold. Fishing from a pier is possible half a mile away. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Where a permit is needed, the nearest town usually sells it. Barbless rules turn up on managed water more often than not. Mint Lake sits 2.3 miles off and takes the overflow. Nothing here settles the position at Mompano Reservoir for certain.
