Larribeau Reservoir is a reservoir in Malheur County, Oregon.
Without a dependable size figure for Larribeau Reservoir, weeds, rock, water color, and nearby depth are the best starting clues.
Fish listed for Larribeau Reservoir include Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, Largemouth Bass, Redside Shiner, and Rainbow Trout.
During a check of nearby water near a quiet corner while the water is falling, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.
During a steady fall day near a soft-to-hard bottom change in clear water, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
During a low-light period near the first break under flat light, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.
During the start of a weather change near a creek-side turn while the water is falling, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
During the last hour of daylight near a narrow cove under flat light, 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 a cool spring morning near a small drop after warm rain, 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 methodical search near the outside weed line where two features meet, 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 quick scouting pass near the downwind side in stained water, record the wind, water color, depth of the best pass, 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.
