Fish species in Annies Reservoir

Annies Reservoir is a reservoir in Malheur County, Oregon.

Without a dependable size figure for Annies Reservoir, weeds, rock, water color, and nearby depth are the best starting clues.

Fish and Baits

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

During a cold winter outing near a firm-bottom flat beside useful cover, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.

During the first hour near a narrow cove close to shade, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.

During a warm summer afternoon near a shaded bank in clear water, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.

During a cold winter outing near scattered wood after warm rain, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.

How to Read the Water

During the start of a weather change near a quiet corner while the water is rising, 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 a cold winter outing near the first break close to shade, 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.

A Simple Tackle Plan

During a warm summer afternoon near a protected point close to shade, 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 slow shoreline pass near a windblown shore before changing areas, record the wind, water color, depth along the best drop, 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.
