Rice Corral Reservoir is a reservoir in Wallowa County, Oregon.
No reliable acreage is listed for Rice Corral Reservoir, so begin with visible cover and the first clear change in depth.
Fish listed for Rice Corral Reservoir include Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, Largemouth Bass, Redside Shiner, and Rainbow Trout.
During a careful second pass near a channel bend with a moving bait, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.
During a bright afternoon near a rocky edge while the water is falling, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
During a steady fall day near the outside weed line after warm rain, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.
During a low-light period near the edge of deeper water near firm bottom, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
During an overcast morning near a soft-to-hard bottom change where two features meet, 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 careful second pass near a protected point 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 steady fall day near the outside weed line where food is present, 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 an overcast morning near a clean gravel patch after warm rain, record the wind, water color, depth along the active edge, 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.
