Deafenbough Reservoir Number Two is a reservoir in Malheur County, Oregon.
Without a dependable size figure for Deafenbough Reservoir Number Two, weeds, rock, water color, and nearby depth are the best starting clues.
Fish listed for Deafenbough Reservoir Number Two include Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, Largemouth Bass, Redside Shiner, and Rainbow Trout.
During a low-light period near a narrow cove after a cold night, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.
During a warm summer afternoon near a firm-bottom flat away from empty shoreline, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
During a steady fall day near the mouth of a pocket before changing depth, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.
During a steady fall day near scattered wood with a slow lure, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
During a calm morning near a creek-side turn after a cold night, 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 short evening pass near a firm-bottom flat near firm bottom, 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 narrow cove near visible 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 check of nearby water near a quiet corner away from empty shoreline, 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.
