Sheep Creek Reservoir is a reservoir in Malheur County, Oregon.
The recorded size of Sheep Creek Reservoir is missing; fish one short bank carefully before deciding whether a wider search makes sense.
Fish listed for Sheep Creek Reservoir include Black Crappie, Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, Channel Catfish, Common Carp, Largemouth Bass, Redside Shiner, Smallmouth Bass, Rainbow Trout, and Tui Chub.
During the start of a weather change near the edge of deeper water while the water is falling, fish a small jig or minnow around wood, weeds, and sharp little drops for black crappie.
During the final pass near a clean gravel patch beside useful cover, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.
During a cool spring morning near a clean gravel patch before changing areas, drag a tube or Ned rig across rock and the hard edge of a point for smallmouth bass.
During the start of a weather change near the downwind side near visible bait, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
During an overcast morning near the downwind side with light wind, Other targets listed here include Channel Catfish, Brown Bullhead, Rainbow Trout, and Common Carp; give each one its own bait and depth instead of trying to catch everything with the same rig.
During an overcast morning near the mouth of a pocket under flat light, 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.
During a methodical search near a windblown shore 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 steady fall day near a small drop after warm rain, 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 check of nearby water near a small drop before changing areas, record the wind, water color, depth of the first bite, 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.
