Fish species in Wroten Reservoir 2

Wroten Reservoir 2 is a reservoir in Malheur County, Oregon.

Without a dependable size figure for Wroten Reservoir 2, weeds, rock, water color, and nearby depth are the best starting clues.

Fish and Baits

Fish listed for Wroten Reservoir 2 include Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, Largemouth Bass, Redside Shiner, and Rainbow Trout.

During a cold winter outing near an open-water edge away from empty shoreline, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.

During the first hour near the downwind side before changing depth, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.

During a careful second pass near a protected point where two features meet, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.

During a short evening pass near a shallow shelf beside useful cover, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.

How to Read the Water

During the last hour of daylight near the downwind side before changing depth, 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 the final pass near a small drop before changing depth, 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 a quick scouting pass near a quiet corner 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 bright afternoon near a windblown shore with a slow lure, 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.
