Cellar Reservoir is a reservoir in Malheur County, Oregon.
The recorded size of Cellar Reservoir is missing; fish one short bank carefully before deciding whether a wider search makes sense.
Fish and Baits
Fish listed for Cellar Reservoir include Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, Largemouth Bass, Redside Shiner, and Rainbow Trout.
During a slow shoreline pass near a channel bend near firm bottom, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.
During a calm morning near a shallow shelf with a slow lure, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
During a cool spring morning near a narrow cove close to shade, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.
During the start of a weather change near a protected point while the water is falling, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
How to Read the Water
During the first hour near an open-water edge before changing areas, Make one shallow pass and one deeper pass on the same shoreline; that shows whether fish are tight to cover or using the first break.
Season by Season
During a steady fall day near a protected point after a cold night, spring runoff can add color and pull fish toward fresh water; green weeds and the first drop become stronger summer targets; in fall, follow bait toward points and shallow flats, while winter rewards a slower search.
A Simple Tackle Plan
During a return to the best bank near a narrow cove with a moving bait, 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 cold winter outing near a firm-bottom flat with a moving bait, record the wind, water color, lure depth that worked, 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.
