Camas Reservoir is a reservoir in Harney County, Oregon.
No reliable acreage is listed for Camas Reservoir, so begin with visible cover and the first clear change in depth.
Fish listed for Camas Reservoir include Brown Bullhead, Largemouth Bass, Rainbow Trout, and Tui Chub.
During the first hour near the mouth of a pocket 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 clean gravel patch close to shade, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.
During a warm summer afternoon near a firm-bottom flat beside useful cover, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
During an overcast morning near a shallow shelf near visible bait, 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.
During a bright afternoon near the downwind side away from empty shoreline, spring fishing starts with warming banks, creek mouths, and shallow cover; summer usually pushes the better bite toward the outside weed edge or a nearby drop; fall can bring bait back to windblown points, while winter calls for smaller moves and a slower pace.
During a careful second pass near the edge of deeper water close to shade, 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 hour near the outside weed line beside useful cover, record the wind, water color, depth that held fish, 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.
