Rex Reservoir is a reservoir in Grant County, Oregon.
No reliable acreage is listed for Rex Reservoir, so begin with visible cover and the first clear change in depth.
Fish and Baits
Fish listed for Rex Reservoir include Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, Largemouth Bass, Redside Shiner, and Rainbow Trout.
During the start of a weather change near a windblown shore where two features meet, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.
During a check of nearby water near a shallow shelf beside useful cover, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
During a return to the best bank near a channel bend before changing depth, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.
During a careful second pass near the mouth of a pocket with a slow lure, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
How to Read the Water
During the start of a weather change near the downwind side after a cold night, 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 shaded bank while the water is falling, 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 a warm summer afternoon near a windblown shore in clear 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 cold winter outing near a creek-side turn while the water is falling, 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.
