Fish species in Ledge Rock Reservoir

Ledge Rock Reservoir is a reservoir in Malheur County, Oregon.

No reliable acreage is listed for Ledge Rock Reservoir, so begin with visible cover and the first clear change in depth.

Fish and Baits

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

During a check of nearby water near the downwind side in stained water, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.

During a quick scouting pass near a quiet corner after warm rain, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.

During a calm morning near a creek-side turn near visible bait, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.

During a slow shoreline pass near a rocky edge away from empty shoreline, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.

How to Read the Water

During a calm morning near a windblown shore beside useful cover, 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 where two features meet, 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.

A Simple Tackle Plan

During a warm summer afternoon near scattered wood before changing areas, 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 near visible bait, 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.
