Little John Reservoir is a reservoir in Malheur County, Oregon.
The recorded size of Little John Reservoir is missing; fish one short bank carefully before deciding whether a wider search makes sense.
Fish listed for Little John Reservoir include Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, Largemouth Bass, Redside Shiner, and Rainbow Trout.
During the last hour of daylight near the first break in clear water, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.
During a cool spring morning near the first break under flat light, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
During a quick scouting pass near the edge of deeper water where two features meet, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.
During a short evening pass near a soft-to-hard bottom change 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 the edge of deeper water close to shade, use wind as a clue; a light push can carry food toward a bank, but hard wind may muddy it, so look for a clean edge near a point or protected pocket.
During a return to the best bank near scattered wood 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 cool spring morning near a soft-to-hard bottom change 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 a slow shoreline pass near a quiet corner in clear water, record the wind, water color, depth of the working lure, 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.
