West Grassy Reservoir is a reservoir in Malheur County, Oregon.
Without a dependable size figure for West Grassy Reservoir, weeds, rock, water color, and nearby depth are the best starting clues.
Fish listed for West Grassy Reservoir include Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, Largemouth Bass, Redside Shiner, and Rainbow Trout.
During a low-light period near a channel bend where two features meet, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.
During a return to the best bank near the edge of deeper water where food is present, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
During a steady fall day near a shallow shelf where food is present, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.
During a steady fall day near a rocky edge where two features meet, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
During the final pass near a rocky edge 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 careful second pass near a windblown shore near firm bottom, 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.
During the start of a weather change near the downwind side after a cold night, 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 small drop before changing areas, record the wind, water color, depth beside useful cover, 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.
