Reimer Reservoir Fishing in Polk County, Oregon

• Overview

  Reimer Reservoir stands in Polk County, Oregon. It lies 269 feet above sea level. It covers about 20 acres, so this is small water you can walk round in under an hour. It ranks high for size among our Polk County listings. The town to know is Dallas, 5.2 miles out. Then Sheridan, 8.6 miles, and Amity, 9.6 miles. The county line is nowhere near, so one local authority covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Reimer Reservoir

  Nothing we hold settles how deep this runs. The arms fish better than the open middle whenever the water is up. Inflow corners move water, and moving water gathers fish. Polk County records list bluegill, largemouth bass, smallmouth bass and largescale sucker among the fish reported. County records show what lives in the area; the local agency holds the water-by-water list. Fish Reimer Reservoir to its features, not to its size.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Seasonal averages run from 40°F in December up to 66°F in August. Warm months push fish deep; cool months bring them back. The first and last hours carry the summer; the middle is slow. March through May is the strongest run, with October and November a second stretch. That is the shape of the year on Reimer Reservoir.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. No car park, ramp or path is recorded within easy reach of the shore. Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. Bank access can be seasonal on ground like this. Rules for boats are stricter than rules for the bank in many places. If the gate is shut, Wall Reservoir at 1.2 miles is the nearest alternative. Check the current arrangement for Reimer Reservoir.
