Larkspur Reservoir is a reservoir in Harney County, Oregon.
Without a dependable size figure for Larkspur Reservoir, weeds, rock, water color, and nearby depth are the best starting clues.
Fish listed for Larkspur Reservoir include Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, Largemouth Bass, Redside Shiner, and Rainbow Trout.
During an overcast morning near a protected point in stained water, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.
During a slow shoreline pass near a channel bend near firm bottom, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
During a return to the best bank near a protected point while the water is falling, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.
During a quick scouting pass near a narrow cove under flat light, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
During the final pass near the mouth of a pocket before changing areas, start where two things meet: weeds and open water, rock and mud, a point and a drop, or clear water and dirty water; fish that edge at more than one depth before leaving it.
During the last hour of daylight near a firm-bottom flat where food is present, spring runoff can add color and pull fish toward fresh water; green weeds and the first drop become stronger summer targets; in fall, follow bait toward points and shallow flats, while winter rewards a slower search.
During a warm summer afternoon near a shallow shelf in stained water, 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 start of a weather change near a creek-side turn near visible bait, 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.
