Lowe Reservoir is a reservoir in Malheur County, Oregon.
No reliable acreage is listed for Lowe Reservoir, so begin with visible cover and the first clear change in depth.
Fish and Baits
Fish listed for Lowe Reservoir include Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, Largemouth Bass, Redside Shiner, and Rainbow Trout.
During the last hour of daylight near a channel bend while the water is falling, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.
During a cool spring morning near a creek-side turn under flat light, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
During a steady fall day near scattered wood after a cold night, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.
During a calm morning near an open-water edge close to shade, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
How to Read the Water
During a quick scouting pass near a firm-bottom flat near firm bottom, 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.
Season by Season
During a warm summer afternoon near a channel bend while the water is falling, shallow water is worth a careful look in spring and again during fall; bright summer days favor shade, weeds, or deeper breaks; under ice, a small depth change can be more useful than a long move.
A Simple Tackle Plan
During a return to the best bank near a windblown shore under flat light, 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 low-light period near a windblown shore before changing depth, record the wind, water color, depth of the first bite, 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.
