Fish species in Harmon Reservoir

Harmon Reservoir is a reservoir in Union County, Oregon.

Use the shape you can see at Harmon Reservoir: check the best cover, the first drop, and one open-water line before moving.

Fish and Baits

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

During a short evening pass near a shallow shelf where food is present, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.

During the last hour of daylight near a protected point before changing areas, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.

During a calm morning near a soft-to-hard bottom change near firm bottom, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.

During a calm morning near an open-water edge near visible bait, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.

How to Read the Water

During a low-light period near a quiet corner near firm bottom, do not let the deepest number control the whole day; nearby cover, firm bottom, and food usually matter more than the deepest hole by itself.

Season by Season

During a short evening pass near a clean gravel patch near firm bottom, 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 a check of nearby water near a shaded bank after a cold night, 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 first pass near a soft-to-hard bottom change after warm rain, record the wind, water color, depth where fish were holding, 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.
