Raymond Dierickx Reservoir, Oregon: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Raymond Dierickx Reservoir belongs to Washington County, Oregon. It sits 36 miles in from the sea. The water measures roughly 7 acres, so nothing here is far from anything else. Supplies mean a trip to Banks, 1.7 miles off. Forest Grove follows at 6 miles, then Cornelius at 7.1 miles. No county line comes close, which keeps the paperwork simple.

• Where to Fish on Raymond Dierickx Reservoir

  We hold no depth figure for this one. Built water gives depth close in, which suits a bank angler. A reservoir gives you a hard edge, a shelf, and not much else. Washington County records list common carp, yellow perch, brown bullhead and largemouth bass among the fish reported. The list covers the county rather than this water alone, so treat it as a guide. Raymond Dierickx Reservoir gives up its fish to patience rather than distance.

• Seasonal Patterns

  August is the warm end of the year here, averaging about 65°F, while December sits near 39°F. Cooler months are the productive ones on most of this water. March through May is the strongest run, with autumn a second stretch. April and May are the settled weeks, with October close behind. That is the shape of the year on Raymond Dierickx Reservoir.

• Tackle & Baits

  We hold no note on access for this one. Parking is not close: half a mile from the bank, and no nearer option is mapped. There is a mapped landing stage half a mile away. The water borders Killin Wetlands Nature Park, so expect the reserve rules to apply. Parking is often the real limit rather than the bank itself. Check whether bait restrictions apply before you buy any. Maple Headquarters Reservoir, 0.4 miles away, makes the obvious fallback. For Raymond Dierickx Reservoir, the notice at the access point is the final word.
