Poer Reservoir is a reservoir in Harney County, Oregon.
No reliable acreage is listed for Poer Reservoir, so begin with visible cover and the first clear change in depth.
Fish listed for Poer Reservoir include Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, Largemouth Bass, Redside Shiner, and Rainbow Trout.
During a cold winter outing near a firm-bottom flat with stable weather, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.
During a careful second pass near a soft-to-hard bottom change near visible bait, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
During a slow shoreline pass near a windblown shore where food is present, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.
During a methodical search near scattered wood in clear water, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
During a steady fall day near a quiet corner in clear water, 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 first pass near a small drop beside useful cover, 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 short evening pass near a firm-bottom flat in stained 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 a low-light period near a small drop near firm bottom, 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.
