Kirby Reservoir is a reservoir in Baker County, Oregon.
No reliable acreage is listed for Kirby Reservoir, so begin with visible cover and the first clear change in depth.
Fish listed for Kirby Reservoir include Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, Largemouth Bass, Redside Shiner, and Rainbow Trout.
During a warm summer afternoon near a quiet corner with stable weather, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.
During an overcast morning near a soft-to-hard bottom change near visible bait, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
During the last hour of daylight near scattered wood while the water is falling, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.
During a low-light period near a soft-to-hard bottom change where food is present, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
During a slow shoreline pass near the first break after warm rain, 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 the last hour of daylight near a firm-bottom flat before changing areas, 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 steady fall day near the first break away from empty shoreline, 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 short evening pass near the first break where two features meet, record the wind, water color, depth where fish bit, 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.
