Fish and Baits

On Lamar Reservoir, the fish mix here is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.

To narrow down Lamar Reservoir, 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

Use this plain plan on Lamar Reservoir: 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

When choosing a bank on Lamar Reservoir, shallow water is worth a careful look in spring and again during fall; bright summer days favor shade, weeds, or deeper breaks; under ice, a small depth change can be more useful than a long move.

A Simple Tackle Plan

For a first pass on Lamar Reservoir, 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.

A direct approach on Lamar Reservoir works like this: record the wind, water color, productive depth, 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.
