Cecil Reservoir is a lake in Harney County, Oregon.

Fish listed for Cecil Reservoir include Rainbow Trout, and Tui Chub.
During the first hour near the downwind side while the water is falling, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
During the final pass near a protected point close to shade, 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 short evening pass near an open-water edge before changing depth, 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 methodical search near a firm-bottom flat where food is present, 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 a narrow cove near visible bait, record the wind, water color, depth beside useful cover, 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.
