Pickett Spring Reservoir is a reservoir in Harney County, Oregon.
No reliable acreage is listed for Pickett Spring Reservoir, so begin with visible cover and the first clear change in depth.
Fish listed for Pickett Spring Reservoir include Brown Bullhead, Largemouth Bass, Rainbow Trout, and Tui Chub.
During the last hour of daylight near a creek-side turn near firm bottom, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
During the final pass near a soft-to-hard bottom change after warm rain, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.
During a slow shoreline pass near a soft-to-hard bottom change under flat light, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
During a steady fall day near a narrow cove beside useful cover, do not let the deepest number control the whole day; nearby cover, firm bottom, and food usually matter more than the deepest hole by itself.
During a careful second pass near a channel bend before changing areas, 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 return to the best bank near a channel bend in clear 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 an overcast morning near the outside weed line with light wind, 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.
