Fish species in Angus Reservoir

Angus Reservoir is a reservoir in Malheur County, Oregon.

The recorded size of Angus Reservoir is missing; fish one short bank carefully before deciding whether a wider search makes sense.

Fish and Baits

Fish listed for Angus Reservoir include Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, Largemouth Bass, Redside Shiner, and Rainbow Trout.

During a short evening pass near a narrow cove beside useful cover, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.

During a low-light period near the downwind side where two features meet, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.

During the first pass near the edge of deeper water in clear water, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.

During the start of a weather change near a channel bend with light wind, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.

How to Read the Water

During the last hour of daylight near a windblown shore under flat light, use wind as a clue; a light push can carry food toward a bank, but hard wind may muddy it, so look for a clean edge near a point or protected pocket.

Season by Season

During the first pass near a small drop near firm bottom, shallow water is worth a careful look in spring and again during fall; bright summer days favor shade, weeds, or deeper breaks; under ice, a small depth change can be more useful than a long move.

A Simple Tackle Plan

During the final pass near a soft-to-hard bottom change while the water is rising, 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 a careful second pass near an open-water edge with a moving bait, record the wind, water color, depth that held fish, 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.
