New Hole Reservoir is a reservoir in Harney County, Oregon.
No reliable acreage is listed for New Hole Reservoir, so begin with visible cover and the first clear change in depth.
Fish listed for New Hole Reservoir include Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, Largemouth Bass, Redside Shiner, and Rainbow Trout.
During a low-light period near a channel bend after a cold night, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.
During the first hour near a rocky edge after warm rain, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
During the first hour near a creek-side turn beside useful cover, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.
During a slow shoreline pass near a rocky edge with light wind, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
During a cool spring morning near a firm-bottom flat while the water is rising, 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 calm morning near a small drop with stable weather, 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.
During a cool spring morning near a shaded bank after warm rain, 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 careful second pass near the first break in stained water, record the wind, water color, water depth at the strike, 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.
