Wagon Reservoir is a reservoir in Harney County, Oregon.
Use the shape you can see at Wagon Reservoir: check the best cover, the first drop, and one open-water line before moving.
Fish and Baits
Fish listed for Wagon Reservoir include Brown Bullhead, Largemouth Bass, Rainbow Trout, and Tui Chub.
During a check of nearby water near a shallow shelf with a moving bait, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
During a cold winter outing near a windblown shore with a slow lure, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.
During the first pass near a firm-bottom flat near visible bait, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
How to Read the Water
During a quick scouting pass near scattered wood away from empty shoreline, Make one shallow pass and one deeper pass on the same shoreline; that shows whether fish are tight to cover or using the first break.
Season by Season
During a cool spring morning near the mouth of a pocket before changing areas, 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.
A Simple Tackle Plan
During a short evening pass near an open-water edge 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 slow shoreline pass near a shallow shelf with stable weather, record the wind, water color, lure depth that worked, 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.
