Five Points Reservoir is a reservoir in Malheur County, Oregon.
Use the shape you can see at Five Points Reservoir: check the best cover, the first drop, and one open-water line before moving.
Fish listed for Five Points Reservoir include Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, Largemouth Bass, Redside Shiner, and Rainbow Trout.
During a cold winter outing near a small drop with a moving bait, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.
During a cool spring morning near the outside weed line with a moving bait, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
During a short evening pass near a rocky edge 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 the mouth of a pocket where food is present, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
During the last hour of daylight near a quiet corner while the water is rising, 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.
During a steady fall day near a firm-bottom flat near visible bait, 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.
During a slow shoreline pass near a creek-side turn while the water is falling, 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 the final pass near a small drop away from empty shoreline, record the wind, water color, water depth at the strike, 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.
