Allotment Reservoir Number Three is a reservoir in Malheur County, Oregon.
The recorded size of Allotment Reservoir Number Three is missing; fish one short bank carefully before deciding whether a wider search makes sense.
Fish and Baits
Fish listed for Allotment Reservoir Number Three include Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, Largemouth Bass, and Redside Shiner.
During a slow shoreline pass near the first break in stained water, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.
During a careful second pass near a windblown shore with a slow lure, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
During the last hour of daylight near a clean gravel patch where food is present, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.
During the first hour near a creek-side turn where two features meet, Rainbow Trout have also been stocked here; that proves fish were released, but it does not promise that they are still common or easy to catch.
How to Read the Water
During a short evening pass near an open-water edge in clear water, do not let the deepest number control the whole day; nearby cover, firm bottom, and food usually matter more than the deepest hole by itself.
Season by Season
During the first hour near the mouth of a pocket where two features meet, spring runoff can add color and pull fish toward fresh water; green weeds and the first drop become stronger summer targets; in fall, follow bait toward points and shallow flats, while winter rewards a slower search.
A Simple Tackle Plan
During the last hour of daylight near a channel bend while the water is falling, a medium spinning rod, 8-pound line, a small box of jigs, a few crankbaits, and a simple bottom rig cover most situations; change depth or speed before changing every piece of tackle.
During a bright afternoon near a narrow cove where food is present, record the wind, water color, depth that produced twice, and cover after a bite; those four notes are more useful on the next trip than a long list of spots that did not produce.
