Basque Pit Reservoir is a reservoir in Malheur County, Oregon.
Use the shape you can see at Basque Pit Reservoir: check the best cover, the first drop, and one open-water line before moving.
Fish listed for Basque Pit Reservoir include Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, Largemouth Bass, Redside Shiner, and Rainbow Trout.
During a calm morning near a protected point near firm bottom, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.
During a low-light period near a channel bend before changing areas, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
During a bright afternoon near a protected point beside useful cover, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.
During the first hour near a quiet corner with light wind, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
During a low-light period near the first break close to shade, do not let the deepest number control the whole day; nearby cover, firm bottom, and food usually matter more than the deepest hole by itself.
During the start of a weather change near an open-water edge in stained water, 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.
During the start of a weather change near the outside weed line before changing areas, 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 bright afternoon near scattered wood while the water is rising, record the wind, water color, depth of the working lure, 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.
