Fish species in Umbrella Pine Reservoir

Umbrella Pine Reservoir is a reservoir in Harney County, Oregon.

Use the shape you can see at Umbrella Pine Reservoir: check the best cover, the first drop, and one open-water line before moving.

Fish and Baits

Fish listed for Umbrella Pine Reservoir include Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, Largemouth Bass, Redside Shiner, and Rainbow Trout.

During a warm summer afternoon near a quiet corner before changing depth, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.

During a low-light period near a creek-side turn where two features meet, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.

During a methodical search near a shaded bank with light wind, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.

During the last hour of daylight near a firm-bottom flat in stained water, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.

How to Read the Water

During a steady fall day near the edge of deeper water near firm bottom, 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.

Season by Season

During the final pass near the edge of deeper water while the water is rising, 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.

A Simple Tackle Plan

During a careful second pass near a rocky edge 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 slow shoreline pass near the mouth of a pocket near visible bait, 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.
