Currey Reservoir is a reservoir in Malheur County, Oregon.
The recorded size of Currey Reservoir is missing; fish one short bank carefully before deciding whether a wider search makes sense.
Fish and Baits
Fish listed for Currey Reservoir include Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, Largemouth Bass, Redside Shiner, and Rainbow Trout.
During a warm summer afternoon near a small drop where food is present, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.
During a cool spring morning near a creek-side turn with a moving bait, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
During the first hour near a shallow shelf with a slow lure, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.
During a calm morning near an open-water edge in stained water, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
How to Read the Water
During a cold winter outing near a protected point in stained water, 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.
Season by Season
During the final pass near a firm-bottom flat with a slow lure, Early in the year, protected water and the first warm afternoon can be the best clues; as the water heats up, check deeper edges without assuming every fish is on the bottom; cooling fall water often makes points and firm banks useful again.
A Simple Tackle Plan
During a check of nearby water near a narrow cove where two features meet, 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 return to the best bank near a clean gravel patch with light wind, record the wind, water color, depth along the best drop, 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.
