Reinhart Pond is a lake in Josephine County, Oregon.
Use the shape you can see at Reinhart Pond: check the best cover, the first drop, and one open-water line before moving.
Fish and Baits
Fish listed for Reinhart Pond include Black Crappie, Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, Cutthroat Trout, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pikeminnow, and Yellow Perch.
During a warm summer afternoon near a quiet corner in stained water, keep a small jig tipped with a worm or minnow close to bottom on a shelf for yellow perch.
During a cold winter outing near a clean gravel patch while the water is rising, fish a small jig or minnow around wood, weeds, and sharp little drops for black crappie.
During the final pass near the edge of deeper water with light wind, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.
During a cold winter outing near a quiet corner away from empty shoreline, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
During a return to the best bank near a creek-side turn near firm bottom, Other targets listed here include Brown Bullhead; give each one its own bait and depth instead of trying to catch everything with the same rig.
During a return to the best bank near a creek-side turn away from empty shoreline, Rainbow Trout have also been stocked here; that proves fish were released, but it does not promise that they are still common or easy to catch.
How to Read the Water
During a low-light period near a rocky edge away from empty shoreline, 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 start of a weather change near a clean gravel patch in clear 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 quick scouting pass near the first break while the water is rising, 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 first pass near a narrow cove beside useful cover, record the wind, water color, depth beside useful cover, 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.
