North Beede Reservoir is a reservoir in Harney County, Oregon.
No reliable acreage is listed for North Beede Reservoir, so begin with visible cover and the first clear change in depth.
Fish listed for North Beede Reservoir include Black Crappie, Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, Channel Catfish, Common Carp, Largemouth Bass, Redside Shiner, Smallmouth Bass, Rainbow Trout, and Tui Chub.
During the first pass near a creek-side turn with a slow lure, fish a small jig or minnow around wood, weeds, and sharp little drops for black crappie.
During a short evening pass near the first break with stable weather, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.
During the final pass near an open-water edge before changing depth, drag a tube or Ned rig across rock and the hard edge of a point for smallmouth bass.
During a calm morning near a soft-to-hard bottom change where food is present, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
During a low-light period near a clean gravel patch with a moving bait, Other targets listed here include Channel Catfish, Brown Bullhead, Rainbow Trout, and Common Carp; give each one its own bait and depth instead of trying to catch everything with the same rig.
During a steady fall day near a soft-to-hard bottom change before changing areas, 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 the start of a weather change near a creek-side turn under flat light, 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 warm summer afternoon near a protected point 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 shallow shelf in stained water, record the wind, water color, depth where fish were holding, 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.
