• Where to Fish on Wee Bonnie Loch Glen Reservoir

  Depth is unknown to us, and the shoreline is the better guide. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Survey and observation records for Josephine County include rainbow trout, klamath smallscale sucker, bluegill and cutthroat trout. Some of the species recorded here are protected or tightly regulated, so check what may be targeted before you fish. Work Wee Bonnie Loch Glen Reservoir in sections rather than trying to cover it.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July to average close to 69°F, with December the cold end at about 40°F. The awkward stretch is midsummer, not midwinter. Spring and autumn carry the fishing; summer squeezes it into the edges of the day. The hot months push the fishing to dawn and dusk. On Wee Bonnie Loch Glen Reservoir the same rules apply, with local timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public sources are silent on who controls the bank. Mapping records no facilities at all near this water. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Where access is informal, keep it that way by behaving. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. Failing this one, try House Reservoir, 5.8 miles away. Nothing here settles the position at Wee Bonnie Loch Glen Reservoir for certain.
