Fish species in Five Corners Reservoir

Five Corners Reservoir is a reservoir in Harney County, Oregon.

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

Fish and Baits

Fish listed for Five Corners Reservoir include Brown Bullhead, Largemouth Bass, Rainbow Trout, and Tui Chub.

During a warm summer afternoon near a clean gravel patch while the water is falling, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.

During an overcast morning near a creek-side turn before changing areas, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.

During a slow shoreline pass near scattered wood 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 check of nearby water near a shaded bank with light wind, Make one shallow pass and one deeper pass on the same shoreline; that shows whether fish are tight to cover or using the first break.

Season by Season

During a steady fall day near a windblown shore where two features meet, 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.

A Simple Tackle Plan

During a short evening pass near scattered wood with light wind, 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 beside useful cover, record the wind, water color, depth of the best pass, 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.
