Pole Reservoir is a reservoir in Malheur County, Oregon.
Without a dependable size figure for Pole Reservoir, weeds, rock, water color, and nearby depth are the best starting clues.
Fish listed for Pole Reservoir include Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, Largemouth Bass, Redside Shiner, and Rainbow Trout.
During the final pass near a creek-side turn in clear water, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.
During a short evening pass near a soft-to-hard bottom change away from empty shoreline, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
During a steady fall day near a creek-side turn after warm rain, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.
During a bright afternoon near a soft-to-hard bottom change with a slow lure, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
During a low-light period near scattered wood in clear water, use wind as a clue; a light push can carry food toward a bank, but hard wind may muddy it, so look for a clean edge near a point or protected pocket.
During a short evening pass near the outside weed line with light wind, spring fishing starts with warming banks, creek mouths, and shallow cover; summer usually pushes the better bite toward the outside weed edge or a nearby drop; fall can bring bait back to windblown points, while winter calls for smaller moves and a slower pace.
During a bright afternoon near a small drop 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 last hour of daylight near a channel bend after warm rain, record the wind, water color, lure depth that worked, 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.
