Selle Gap Reservoir is a reservoir in Malheur County, Oregon.
Without a dependable size figure for Selle Gap Reservoir, weeds, rock, water color, and nearby depth are the best starting clues.
Fish listed for Selle Gap Reservoir include Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, Largemouth Bass, Redside Shiner, and Rainbow Trout.
During an overcast morning near the downwind side after warm rain, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.
During a calm morning near a shaded bank while the water is falling, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
During the first hour near a rocky edge in stained water, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.
During the first pass near a creek-side turn under flat light, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
During a steady fall day near a soft-to-hard bottom change close to shade, 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 low-light period near scattered wood near visible 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 methodical search near a soft-to-hard bottom change with light wind, 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 bright afternoon near the downwind side close to shade, record the wind, water color, depth along the best drop, 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.
