State Line Reservoir is a reservoir in Malheur County, Oregon.
Use the shape you can see at State Line Reservoir: check the best cover, the first drop, and one open-water line before moving.
Fish listed for State Line Reservoir include Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, Largemouth Bass, Redside Shiner, and Rainbow Trout.
During the last hour of daylight near the outside weed line near visible bait, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.
During a slow shoreline pass near a soft-to-hard bottom change after warm rain, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
During a warm summer afternoon near a clean gravel patch near visible bait, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.
During a cool spring morning near a narrow cove while the water is falling, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
During a steady fall day near the mouth of a pocket beside useful cover, do not let the deepest number control the whole day; nearby cover, firm bottom, and food usually matter more than the deepest hole by itself.
During a bright afternoon near a quiet corner with a moving bait, spring runoff can add color and pull fish toward fresh water; green weeds and the first drop become stronger summer targets; in fall, follow bait toward points and shallow flats, while winter rewards a slower search.
During a slow shoreline pass near a channel bend under flat light, 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 return to the best bank near the outside weed line with a slow lure, 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.
