Antelope Spring Road Reservoir is a reservoir in Harney County, Oregon.
Use the shape you can see at Antelope Spring Road Reservoir: check the best cover, the first drop, and one open-water line before moving.
Fish and Baits
Fish listed for Antelope Spring Road Reservoir include Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, Largemouth Bass, Redside Shiner, and Rainbow Trout.
During a steady fall day near a rocky edge with a moving bait, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.
During a methodical search near scattered wood after a cold night, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
During a cold winter outing near a quiet corner before changing depth, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.
During the final pass near a firm-bottom flat while the water is rising, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
How to Read the Water
During a short evening pass near a windblown shore while the water is rising, 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.
Season by Season
During an overcast morning near the edge of deeper water near visible bait, 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 final pass near a shaded bank after a cold night, 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 final pass near the outside weed line with stable weather, record the wind, water color, depth along the active edge, 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.
