Buck Spring Reservoir is a reservoir in Harney County, Oregon.
No reliable acreage is listed for Buck Spring Reservoir, so begin with visible cover and the first clear change in depth.
Fish listed for Buck Spring Reservoir include Brown Bullhead, Largemouth Bass, Rainbow Trout, and Tui Chub.
During the first hour near scattered wood with a slow lure, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
During the last hour of daylight near a channel bend near firm bottom, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.
During a cold winter outing near a shallow shelf with a slow lure, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
During a bright afternoon near a clean gravel patch while the water is rising, 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 a slow shoreline pass near the outside weed line away from empty shoreline, 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 a short evening pass near a narrow cove away from empty shoreline, 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 steady fall day near an open-water edge where two features meet, record the wind, water color, depth of the first bite, 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.
