Fish species in Upper Juniper Reservoir

Upper Juniper Reservoir is a reservoir in Lake County, Oregon.

Without a dependable size figure for Upper Juniper Reservoir, weeds, rock, water color, and nearby depth are the best starting clues.

Fish and Baits

Fish listed for Upper Juniper Reservoir include Brown Bullhead, Largemouth Bass, Rainbow Trout, and Tui Chub.

During a calm morning near a small drop in clear water, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.

During a quick scouting pass near a soft-to-hard bottom change where two features meet, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.

During the first hour near the edge of deeper water while the water is rising, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.

How to Read the Water

During a methodical search near a creek-side turn 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 a cold winter outing near the first break under flat light, 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.

A Simple Tackle Plan

During an overcast morning near a firm-bottom flat where two features meet, 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 cool spring morning near the downwind side after warm rain, record the wind, water color, depth of the best pass, 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.
