Bobcat Reservoir in Harney County is a reservoir in Oregon.
No reliable acreage is listed for Bobcat Reservoir, so begin with visible cover and the first clear change in depth.
Fish listed for Bobcat Reservoir include Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, Largemouth Bass, Redside Shiner, and Rainbow Trout.
During the first pass near a shaded bank where two features meet, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.
During a slow shoreline pass near a small drop with a moving bait, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
During a cool spring morning near a soft-to-hard bottom change after a cold night, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.
During a short evening pass near the edge of deeper water close to shade, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
During the final pass near the first break before changing areas, 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 check of nearby water near a narrow cove under flat light, 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 scattered wood 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 slow shoreline pass near a protected point close to shade, 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.
