Cullens Reservoir is a reservoir in Harney County, Oregon.
No reliable acreage is listed for Cullens Reservoir, so begin with visible cover and the first clear change in depth.
Fish listed for Cullens Reservoir include Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, Largemouth Bass, Redside Shiner, and Rainbow Trout.
During a bright afternoon near the first break near visible bait, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.
During a low-light period near a firm-bottom flat before changing depth, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
During the first hour near an open-water edge in clear water, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.
During a careful second pass near the mouth of a pocket after warm rain, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
During a slow shoreline pass near a soft-to-hard bottom change with light wind, 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 slow shoreline pass near a shaded bank 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 cold winter outing near the edge of deeper water while the water is falling, 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 a quiet corner away from empty shoreline, record the wind, water color, depth of the working lure, 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.
