Altnow Gap Reservoir is a reservoir in Harney County, Oregon.
The recorded size of Altnow Gap Reservoir is missing; fish one short bank carefully before deciding whether a wider search makes sense.
Fish listed for Altnow Gap Reservoir include Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, Largemouth Bass, Redside Shiner, and Rainbow Trout.
During a careful second pass near a windblown shore where two features meet, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.
During a cold winter outing near a small drop close to shade, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
During a cool spring morning near the outside weed line in clear water, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.
During the first hour near a clean gravel patch beside useful cover, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
During an overcast morning near a quiet corner in stained water, start where two things meet: weeds and open water, rock and mud, a point and a drop, or clear water and dirty water; fish that edge at more than one depth before leaving it.
During a bright afternoon near the first break with a moving bait, Early in the year, protected water and the first warm afternoon can be the best clues; as the water heats up, check deeper edges without assuming every fish is on the bottom; cooling fall water often makes points and firm banks useful again.
During a return to the best bank near a shaded bank where food is present, a light spinning rod, thin line, a few small spoons, inline spinners, and jigs cover the listed trout; carry one slightly heavier setup when other fish or windy water call for more control.
During the first hour near a rocky edge under flat light, record the wind, water color, depth beside useful cover, 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.
