Antelope Flat Reservoir is a reservoir in Oregon, near Crook County.
Antelope Flat Reservoir is a reservoir in Crook County, Oregon.
No reliable acreage is listed for Antelope Flat Reservoir, so begin with visible cover and the first clear change in depth.
Fish listed for Antelope Flat Reservoir include Black Crappie, Brown Bullhead, Brown Trout, Largemouth Bass, Redside Shiner, Smallmouth Bass, Rainbow Trout, and Tui Chub.
During the last hour of daylight near a creek-side turn beside useful cover, fish a small jig or minnow around wood, weeds, and sharp little drops for black crappie.
During a cold winter outing near an open-water edge after a cold night, drag a tube or Ned rig across rock and the hard edge of a point for smallmouth bass.
During a quick scouting pass near a small drop with light wind, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
During a return to the best bank near a firm-bottom flat before changing depth, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.
During a low-light period near the mouth of a pocket before changing areas, Other targets listed here include Rainbow Trout, and Brown Trout; give each one its own bait and depth instead of trying to catch everything with the same rig.
During the start of a weather change near a quiet corner where two features meet, 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.
During a short evening pass near the mouth of a pocket while the water is falling, spring fishing starts with warming banks, creek mouths, and shallow cover; summer usually pushes the better bite toward the outside weed edge or a nearby drop; fall can bring bait back to windblown points, while winter calls for smaller moves and a slower pace.
During a short evening pass near a creek-side turn 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 quick scouting pass near a soft-to-hard bottom change while the water is rising, 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.
