Haller Reservoir is a reservoir in Clallam County, Washington and covers about 12 acres and holds roughly 12 acre-feet.
On a water as small as Haller Reservoir, one weed edge or deeper pocket can hold much of the day’s activity.
Fish and Baits
During the start of a weather change near a creek-side turn near visible bait, the fish mix is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.
During a cold winter outing near a firm-bottom flat while the water is rising, begin with one slow bottom presentation and one moving bait, then let bites show whether fish are holding close to cover or roaming open water.
How to Read the Water
During a careful second pass near a clean gravel patch under flat light, use wind as a clue; a light push can carry food toward a bank, but hard wind may muddy it, so look for a clean edge near a point or protected pocket.
Season by Season
While using a slow pass beside cover near a clean gravel patch with a slow lure, 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 careful second pass near a firm-bottom flat in clear water, a medium spinning rod, 8-pound line, a small box of jigs, a few crankbaits, and a simple bottom rig cover most situations; change depth or speed before changing every piece of tackle.
During the first pass near a small drop away from empty shoreline, record the wind, water color, depth where fish bit, 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.
