Fish species in Pollock Draw Reservoir

Pollock Draw Reservoir is a reservoir in Harney County, Oregon.

Use the shape you can see at Pollock Draw Reservoir: check the best cover, the first drop, and one open-water line before moving.

Fish and Baits

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

During the first hour near a windblown shore close to shade, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.

During a low-light period near a shallow shelf under flat light, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.

During a careful second pass near a quiet corner near visible bait, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.

During a return to the best bank near the edge of deeper water under flat light, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.

How to Read the Water

During a calm morning near the outside weed line before changing depth, 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 the final pass near a small drop in stained water, spring runoff can add color and pull fish toward fresh water; green weeds and the first drop become stronger summer targets; in fall, follow bait toward points and shallow flats, while winter rewards a slower search.

A Simple Tackle Plan

During a steady fall day near a firm-bottom flat near firm bottom, 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 bright afternoon near a creek-side turn beside useful cover, record the wind, water color, depth where the bait 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.
