Fish species in Eiguren Reservoir

Eiguren Reservoir in the northern part of Malheur County is a reservoir in Oregon.

The recorded size of Eiguren Reservoir is missing; fish one short bank carefully before deciding whether a wider search makes sense.

Fish and Baits

Fish listed for Eiguren Reservoir include Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, Largemouth Bass, Redside Shiner, and Rainbow Trout.

During a cool spring morning near the edge of deeper water near visible bait, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.

During a check of nearby water near a channel bend while the water is rising, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.

During a careful second pass near a protected point in clear water, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.

During the first hour near a narrow cove close to shade, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.

How to Read the Water

During the last hour of daylight near scattered wood with a moving bait, 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 methodical search near a shallow shelf close to shade, 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 careful second pass near a rocky edge in clear water, 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 small drop in stained water, record the wind, water color, depth where the lure was hit, 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.
