Prineville Reservoir Smallmouth Bass Tips: [ Add Tip ]
- Right now with the water temp. in the high 40\'s and low 50\'s, crank your main lake points with a crankbait that dives around 10 ft. Make cast across the point,
and on both sides. Smallies are staging for spawning, during the day they are feeding on points. After the water gets in the 60\'s, then you can fish plastics,
or cranks around drop offs, and cliffs.

Water Temperature: 49
I was all over the lake on 4/20/13. The warmest water was around the marina, at 51 degrees. the coldest was at 47 degrees on the dam end. Smallmouth fishing was tough because the barometer was holding steady, but a cold front had just passed through the day prior. Smallies were staging just off the main points in about 12 to 16 ft. But because of the c. Front they moved back down a bit. By next weekend, with the warm weather this week, cranking the main lake points in about 10 to 12 foot,
should be easy to limit out. Try a brown, or red crankbait. The full moon is on Thursday. And remember to practice catch and release. If you want to eat some, take a couple in the 2 lb. range. Let the big ones go. Smallmouth 55
Prineville Reservoir Crappie Fishing
Prineville Reservoir Crappie Tips: [ Add Tip ]
Crappie Tips for Current Conditions:
Crappie fishing is sometimes at its best with the water temperature down this low. Crappie will be in large schools and follow the large shad schools around in extremely deep water. Find the deepest parts of your lake in old river channels and scan your graph for schooling shad. When you find the school, drop your plastics or live bait down to the bottom of the shad and get ready. Many crappie fishermen will be catching awesome numbers and size of fish this time of year. If you are brave enough to get out on the water this time when the water temperature is this cold, it can really pay off. Be careful out there, remember to boat safely. Never take any chances at these temperatures.

Prineville Reservoir Catfish Tips: [ Add Tip ]
Catfish Tips for Current Conditions:
The catfish family comprises of blue catfish, flathead catfish and channel catfish. Since catfish are warm water fish, they aren’t going to be very active in this water temperature. They will still be feeding, but catfish will only be found very deep and feeding very slowly. Your best bet is give some of the more active fish species in your lake a shot until the cats are active again.

Prineville Reservoir Spotted Bass Tips: [ Add Tip ]
Spotted Bass Tips for Current Conditions:
With Prineville Reservoir at 47 degree water temperature this is a great time to get out on the water and try hitting some deeper primary and secondary points. Spotted bass will be feeding at this water temperature but will be much harder to catch. On Sunny warm afternoons its a great time to throw a crank bait, jigs or slow roll a spinnerbait at 5-10 foot on sunny points and drops off of sunny flats. Spottted Bass will move into warm water on warm sunny days.

Prineville Reservoir Solar and Lunar Conditions
Current Lunar Fishing Tip:
The full moon is right around the corner. The gravitational pull is starting to increase with the moon and sun being on opposite sides of the planet. Watch the peak fishing times and make sure you are on the water during that part of the day to take full advantage of today's solar/lunar peaks. It's always fun trying something new at the peak times to change things up a bit and test out the Lunar Theory each time you hit the water in close to full and full moon situations. Good luck you there.
