Twin Reservoirs in the north-central part of Harney County is a reservoir in Oregon.
During a return to the best bank near the mouth of a pocket with light wind, use the shape you can see at Twin Reservoirs: check the best cover, the first drop, and one open-water line before moving.
Fish and Baits
During a cool spring morning near the mouth of a pocket while the water is rising, fish listed for Twin Reservoirs include Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, Largemouth Bass, Redside Shiner, and Rainbow Trout.
During a warm summer afternoon near a protected point before changing depth, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.
During a careful second pass near a channel bend close to shade, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
During a check of nearby water near the outside weed line away from empty shoreline, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.
During a short evening pass near a rocky edge before changing depth, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
How to Read the Water
During a cool spring morning near a narrow cove with stable weather, 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.
Season by Season
During a calm morning near a narrow cove with light wind, 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 the final pass near a clean gravel patch 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 channel bend where food is present, record the wind, water color, depth that produced twice, 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.
