Fish species in Pollock Reservoir

Pollock Reservoir is a reservoir in Harney County, Oregon.

The recorded size of Pollock Reservoir is missing; fish one short bank carefully before deciding whether a wider search makes sense.

Fish and Baits

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

During a methodical search near a clean gravel patch before changing depth, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.

During an overcast morning near the first break before changing depth, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.

During a bright afternoon near a shaded bank after a cold night, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.

During a methodical search near a channel bend while the water is falling, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.

How to Read the Water

During a warm summer afternoon near a soft-to-hard bottom change in stained water, 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.

Season by Season

During the start of a weather change near an open-water edge while the water is rising, 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.

A Simple Tackle Plan

During an overcast morning near the outside weed line with light wind, 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 cool spring morning near scattered wood with light wind, 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.
