Go ahead. Clean that tackle box one
more tim e-it couldn’t hurt and it will
make you feel better. Never mind that
this will make the fifth time it has been
reorganized since you put your new
Christmas goodies in it; it’s part of the
natural order of things, the
phenomenon that occurs about this time
every year.
As eastern Oregon reservoirs and
lowland lakes begin to thaw (many are
already ice-free), more tackle, boats,
waders, rods and reels get fidgeted with
than during any other time of year. For serious still-water anglers, the
wait for fishable water can be made semi-bearable only by the repeated
fondling of their favorite fishing gear (no, you won’t go blind).
Yet, whatever temporary relief this therapy might provide, it can be swift
ly undone by an armchair session with Drs. Bill Dance, Jerry McKinnis,
Orlando Wilson or other legendary TV fastcasters. It has been written that
if abstinence from an angler’s favorite pursuit is akin to bamboo shoots
under the fingernails, then television fishing shows provide the mallet with
which to drive them in.
The only sure means of ending such torture, then, is to get on the walei
as soon as possible. But in so doing, many eager anglers bring home frustra
tion instead of fillets. Success after ice-out often falls short of most expec
tations, possibly because many apply the same tactics that were produc
tive last summer or early fall. Fishing the coolest areas of the lake or us
ing large, fast-moving lures won't net much during early spring.
Whereas humans are generally unaffected by moderate temperature
changes, fish, as with most cold-blooded creatures, are sensitive to dif
ferences amounting to mere fractions of a degree. These temperatures con
trol their metabolic rates which in turn govern their feeding habits. Hence,
find the warmest water and you’ll usually find the most active fish.
The shallows of the coves or inlets along the northwest shores are among
the first to warm, as they get the greatest exposure from the sun. The win
dy sides of these coves are often favored, since the same warm breeze
that melted the ice tends to push the thin layer of sun-warmed surface water
toward that shore, where it bunches up and mixes even deeper. Zooplankton
and other small organisms are also pushed to the same shoreline and pro
vide a good first-forage base for semi-lethargic fish.
Small creeks (not larger, runoff-laden streams) and underwater springs
can also carry warmer water into the reservoir. Damp spots on the bank
or green, aquatic plants that have survived the winter can indicate the
presence of springs.
If fish aren’t present in the shallows, check the deeper water adjacent
to it. Most fish spend the winter here and begin their spring season by
initially making only brief trips into shallow water to feed.
In either case, small, slow-moving offerings produce the most consis
tent catches, at least until the water warms up. Trouters do well with
nymphs, small spinners or spoons. Anglers after warmwater fish prefer
small jigs or plastic grubs inundated with a good scent attractant and inch
ed along the bottom or near shoreline cover. Bait fishermen do some of
their best work during early spring, with fresh, live worms being a popular
choice for most species of fish.
Though temporary setbacks can be expected with the passage of cold
fronts, it takes fewer balmy days with frostless nights than most realize
to nudge the water temperatures into the magical high forties once the ice
cover is gone—an even speedier process on waters which remain open all
winter.
But even when conditions prove ideal ice-out fishing is rarely fast and
furious. Still, it offers a welcome change for those who’d rather mess up
a tackle box than clean one.
