Fish species in P Reservoir

P Reservoir is a reservoir in Baker County, Oregon.

The recorded size of P Reservoir is missing; fish one short bank carefully before deciding whether a wider search makes sense.

Fish and Baits

Fish listed for P Reservoir include Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, Largemouth Bass, Redside Shiner, and Rainbow Trout.

During the first hour near the downwind side while the water is falling, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.

During the start of a weather change near a firm-bottom flat near firm bottom, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.

During a check of nearby water near the edge of deeper water under flat light, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.

During a warm summer afternoon near scattered wood beside useful cover, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.

How to Read the Water

During a return to the best bank near a narrow cove while the water is falling, 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.

Season by Season

During a slow shoreline pass near scattered wood in clear water, 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.

A Simple Tackle Plan

During a short evening pass near the downwind side near visible bait, 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 protected point in clear water, record the wind, water color, depth of the working lure, 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.
