Fish species in Section Nineteen Reservoir

Section Nineteen Reservoir is a reservoir in Harney County, Oregon.

No reliable acreage is listed for Section Nineteen Reservoir, so begin with visible cover and the first clear change in depth.

Fish and Baits

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

During a methodical search near a shallow shelf with a slow lure, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.

During the last hour of daylight near an open-water edge with a moving bait, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.

During the first pass near the outside weed line under flat light, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.

During a methodical search near a firm-bottom flat while the water is rising, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.

How to Read the Water

During the final pass near a shallow shelf away from empty shoreline, 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.

Season by Season

During the first pass near a channel bend in clear water, Early in the year, protected water and the first warm afternoon can be the best clues; as the water heats up, check deeper edges without assuming every fish is on the bottom; cooling fall water often makes points and firm banks useful again.

A Simple Tackle Plan

During a check of nearby water near a firm-bottom flat with stable weather, 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 scattered wood before changing areas, 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.
