Nault Reservoir is a reservoir in Baker County, Oregon.
Use the shape you can see at Nault Reservoir: check the best cover, the first drop, and one open-water line before moving.
Fish listed for Nault Reservoir include Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, Largemouth Bass, Redside Shiner, and Rainbow Trout.
During a quick scouting pass near the downwind side close to shade, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.
During a warm summer afternoon near the mouth of a pocket where two features meet, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
During a methodical search near the first break away from empty shoreline, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.
During a quick scouting pass near the downwind side where food is present, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
During a calm morning near the downwind side with a moving bait, 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.
During a cool spring morning near a rocky edge before changing areas, 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 an overcast morning near a clean gravel patch in stained water, 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 bright afternoon near an open-water edge where food is present, record the wind, water color, depth of the best pass, 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.
