Dubious Reservoir is a reservoir in Malheur County, Oregon.
Without a dependable size figure for Dubious Reservoir, weeds, rock, water color, and nearby depth are the best starting clues.
Fish and Baits
Fish listed for Dubious Reservoir include Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, Largemouth Bass, Redside Shiner, and Rainbow Trout.
During a methodical search near a shaded bank where two features meet, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.
During a check of nearby water near a creek-side turn near visible bait, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
During the start of a weather change near a clean gravel patch near visible bait, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.
During the last hour of daylight near the outside weed line before changing depth, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
How to Read the Water
During a calm morning near a channel bend near firm bottom, 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 a cool spring morning near a windblown shore under flat light, 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.
A Simple Tackle Plan
During the final pass 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 check of nearby water near the edge of deeper water before changing depth, 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.
