Sixtynine Reservoir is a reservoir in Grant County, Oregon.
Without a dependable size figure for Sixtynine Reservoir, weeds, rock, water color, and nearby depth are the best starting clues.
Fish listed for Sixtynine Reservoir include Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, Largemouth Bass, Redside Shiner, and Rainbow Trout.
During a low-light period near the edge of deeper water with light wind, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.
During a return to the best bank near a windblown shore under flat light, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
During the start of a weather change near a windblown shore where two features meet, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.
During a return to the best bank near a small drop with stable weather, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
During a steady fall day near the edge of deeper water with a moving bait, 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 the first pass near an open-water edge while the water is rising, shallow water is worth a careful look in spring and again during fall; bright summer days favor shade, weeds, or deeper breaks; under ice, a small depth change can be more useful than a long move.
During a return to the best bank near an open-water edge near firm bottom, 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 careful second pass near a shallow shelf in clear water, record the wind, water color, depth beside useful cover, 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.
