• Where to Fish on Newhouse Reservoir

  There is no published depth for this one, so start shallow and work out. Look for where the old bank line still shows under the surface. Points where the flooded channel swings in are the reliable ones. Records held for Beaver County cover rainbow trout, brown trout, mountain sucker, black-spotted cutthroat trout and cutthroat trout. County data is a starting point rather than a guarantee. On Newhouse Reservoir the quiet end is the one worth the extra effort.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Temperature averages peak at 76°F in July and bottom out at 29°F in January. Temperature moves within a narrow band, and so does the fishing. Cover comes and goes, so treat it with suspicion rather than trust. The cooler months are the comfortable ones to fish here. Keep it in mind when planning a trip to Newhouse Reservoir.

• Tackle & Baits

  Ownership and access are not documented in what we hold. Records show it does not hold water year-round. No built facilities appear in mapping around this water. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. State or provincial rules still apply whatever the bank status. Some stretches are reserved and marked as such on the ground. Dutchman Reservoir, 1.4 miles away, makes the obvious fallback. Confirm before you fish Newhouse Reservoir.
