Fish species in Bog Hole Reservoir

Bog Hole Reservoir is a reservoir in Malheur County, Oregon.

No reliable acreage is listed for Bog Hole Reservoir, so begin with visible cover and the first clear change in depth.

Fish and Baits

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

During an overcast morning near scattered wood after a cold night, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.

During a short evening pass near the mouth of a pocket close to shade, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.

During the first hour near a firm-bottom flat under flat light, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.

During an overcast morning near a channel bend where two features meet, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.

How to Read the Water

During a cold winter outing near a narrow cove after a cold night, 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 the first pass near the mouth of a pocket in clear 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.

A Simple Tackle Plan

During the first pass near the edge of deeper water near firm bottom, 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 first pass near scattered wood near visible bait, record the wind, water color, water depth at the strike, 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.
