Witzig Reservoir Fishing Guide, Washington County, Oregon

• Overview

  Witzig Reservoir is a Washington County water, Oregon side. Beyond the shoreline you have pine and hardwood. The whole thing is a single swim; walk it in a minute. Our Washington County list holds plenty of bigger water. Nearest town is Aloha, 1.2 miles off. The nearest city of size is Hillsboro, 5.6 miles away. This one sits near enough to a boundary to be worth checking.

• Where to Fish on Witzig Reservoir

  Nothing in our records gives a depth for this one. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Open biodiversity records for Washington County list common carp, yellow perch, brown bullhead and largemouth bass. The list covers the county rather than this water alone, so treat it as a guide. On Witzig Reservoir the first feature you find is usually worth a session.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages move between 40°F in December and 67°F in August. Winter is a mild inconvenience here, nothing more. Spring and autumn carry the fishing; summer squeezes it into the edges of the day. February into May fishes hardest as the water warms. Anyone fishing Witzig Reservoir regularly works to that calendar.

• Tackle & Baits

  The rules here are undocumented as far as public sources go. You can park half a mile away and walk in from there. There is a toilet block some half a mile out. This sits inside Stoddard Open Space, so read the reserve notices first. Parking is often the real limit rather than the bank itself. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. Should this one be busy, Ettinger Reservoir is 1.9 miles off. Nothing here settles the position at Witzig Reservoir for certain.
