Fish Species: Rainbow Trout, Wiper
Ana Reservoir, situated in Oregon's high desert near Summer Lake, is a uniquely productive coldwater fishery, globally recognized for its exceptional hybrid bass (wiper) populations. Its remote allure is amplified by its status as a premier wiper destination, attracting anglers seeking formidable, aggressive game fish.

The principal piscatorial objective is the robust hybrid bass, renowned for powerful strikes and runs, alongside rigorously stocked rainbow trout by the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) in cooler months. Angling techniques are precisely tailored: a wide array of crankbaits, spinnerbaits, and topwater lures for schooling wipers; and static baits, spinners, or spoons for trout. Fly anglers successfully deploy streamers for wipers. Optimal wiper fishing spans late spring through early fall; trout excel in spring and autumn. Access is generally good via developed boat ramps, necessitating watercraft for comprehensive coverage, though bank access is available. Regulations, meticulously managed by the ODFW, specify unique rules for hybrid bass; strict adherence to current directives is unequivocally paramount for legal compliance and sustainable resource management within this distinctive high desert fishery.
