Rocky Bottom Reservoir is a reservoir in Malheur County, Oregon.
Use the shape you can see at Rocky Bottom Reservoir: check the best cover, the first drop, and one open-water line before moving.
Fish listed for Rocky Bottom Reservoir include Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, Largemouth Bass, Redside Shiner, and Rainbow Trout.
During a bright afternoon near a channel bend close to shade, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.
During the first hour near an open-water edge while the water is falling, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
During the start of a weather change near the outside weed line beside useful cover, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.
During a low-light period near a shaded bank with a slow lure, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
During a warm summer afternoon near a small drop near visible bait, Make one shallow pass and one deeper pass on the same shoreline; that shows whether fish are tight to cover or using the first break.
During a careful second pass near the mouth of a pocket with a moving bait, 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 return to the best bank near the downwind side 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 a steady fall day near a quiet corner with light wind, 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.
