Mules Ear Reservoir is a reservoir in Malheur County, Oregon.
Use the shape you can see at Mules Ear Reservoir: check the best cover, the first drop, and one open-water line before moving.
Fish listed for Mules Ear Reservoir include Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, Largemouth Bass, Redside Shiner, and Rainbow Trout.
During a slow shoreline pass near the first break after warm rain, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.
During a steady fall day near a quiet corner after warm rain, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
During the start of a weather change near the edge of deeper water near visible bait, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.
During a cold winter outing near a windblown shore after warm rain, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
During a return to the best bank near a rocky edge in clear water, Make one shallow pass and one deeper pass on the same shoreline; that shows whether fish are tight to cover or using the first break.
During a careful second pass near scattered wood after warm rain, spring runoff can add color and pull fish toward fresh water; green weeds and the first drop become stronger summer targets; in fall, follow bait toward points and shallow flats, while winter rewards a slower search.
During a slow shoreline pass near a creek-side turn while the water is rising, 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 narrow cove where food is present, record the wind, water color, lure depth that worked, 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.
