McCloud-Field Reservoir is a reservoir in Malheur County, Oregon.
The recorded size of McCloud-Field Reservoir is missing; fish one short bank carefully before deciding whether a wider search makes sense.
Fish and Baits
Fish listed for McCloud-Field Reservoir include Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, Largemouth Bass, Redside Shiner, and Rainbow Trout.
During a slow shoreline pass near a quiet corner with light wind, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.
During a careful second pass near a rocky edge in clear water, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
During the last hour of daylight near a protected point in stained water, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.
During a methodical search near a rocky edge with a moving bait, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
How to Read the Water
During a methodical search near a shaded bank near visible bait, 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 methodical search near a quiet corner close to shade, 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.
A Simple Tackle Plan
During the final pass near a windblown shore with light wind, 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 calm morning near a clean gravel patch where two features meet, record the wind, water color, depth that held fish, 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.
