Pelton Regulating Reservoir is a reservoir in Jefferson County, Oregon.

Fish listed for Pelton Regulating Reservoir include Brook Trout, Brown Trout, Kokanee Salmon, and Rainbow Trout.
During the start of a weather change near a clean gravel patch with stable weather, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
During a cold winter outing near a creek-side turn in clear water, work a small minnow bait, spoon, or streamer along cool breaks and moving water for brown trout.
During the final pass near a firm-bottom flat 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 the start of a weather change near scattered wood close to shade, 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 methodical search near the edge of deeper water while the water is falling, 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 start of a weather change near the downwind side after warm rain, 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.
