Hines Log Pond is a reservoir in Grant County, Oregon.
Without a dependable size figure for Hines Log Pond, weeds, rock, water color, and nearby depth are the best starting clues.
During the first hour near the outside weed line with a moving bait, the fish mix is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.
During a check of nearby water near a small drop before changing depth, begin with one slow bottom presentation and one moving bait, then let bites show whether fish are holding close to cover or roaming open water.
During a cold winter outing near the downwind side while the water is falling, 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 a steady fall day near a channel bend while the water is rising, 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.
During an overcast morning near an open-water edge close to shade, Early in the year, protected water and the first warm afternoon can be the best clues; as the water heats up, check deeper edges without assuming every fish is on the bottom; cooling fall water often makes points and firm banks useful again.
During a short evening pass near a narrow cove while the water is falling, 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 the last hour of daylight near a shallow shelf with a slow lure, record the wind, water color, depth near the strongest cover, 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.
