Green Flat Reservoir is a reservoir in Harney County, Oregon.
Without a dependable size figure for Green Flat Reservoir, weeds, rock, water color, and nearby depth are the best starting clues.
Fish listed for Green Flat Reservoir include Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, Largemouth Bass, and Redside Shiner.
During a short evening pass near a firm-bottom flat with a moving bait, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.
During a careful second pass near a soft-to-hard bottom change under flat light, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
During the last hour of daylight near a soft-to-hard bottom change with stable weather, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.
During a steady fall day near a narrow cove before changing depth, Rainbow Trout have also been stocked here; that proves fish were released, but it does not promise that they are still common or easy to catch.
During the start of a weather change near the outside weed line away from empty shoreline, 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.
During a cool spring morning near a shallow shelf while the water is falling, 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 check of nearby water near the edge of deeper water beside useful cover, a medium spinning rod, 8-pound line, a small box of jigs, a few crankbaits, and a simple bottom rig cover most situations; change depth or speed before changing every piece of tackle.
During a cold winter outing near the mouth of a pocket where two features meet, record the wind, water color, depth that produced twice, 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.
