Big Tujunga Reservoir is a reservoir in California, near Los Angeles County.
Big Tujunga Reservoir is a reservoir in Los Angeles County, California and covers about 89.2 acres, reaches about 41 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 5,750 acre-feet.
Big Tujunga Reservoir can be broken down in a few passes: shallow cover, the first break, and the deepest useful water.
Fish listed for Big Tujunga Reservoir include Black Crappie, Bluegill, Channel Catfish, Common Carp, Green Sunfish, Largemouth Bass, Redear Sunfish, and Rainbow Trout.
A useful black crappie plan on Big Tujunga Reservoir is to fish a small jig or minnow around wood, weeds, and sharp little drops.
While looking for bluegill on Big Tujunga Reservoir, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets.
For largemouth bass on Big Tujunga Reservoir, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover.
For channel catfish on Big Tujunga Reservoir, fish cut bait or a nightcrawler on the bottom along a channel edge or warm flat.
Other targets listed here include Rainbow Trout, and Common Carp; give each one its own bait and depth instead of trying to catch everything with the same rig; check both sides of the point.
Start where two things meet: weeds and open water, rock and mud, a point and a drop, or clear water and dirty water; fish that edge at more than one depth before leaving it; work the best shade during bright hours, then note the exact cover that gives a bite.
Spring runoff can add color and pull fish toward fresh water; green weeds and the first drop become stronger summer targets; in fall, follow bait toward points and shallow flats, while winter rewards a slower search; try firm bottom before soft silt, then keep line light around small clear-water fish.
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; let a light jig fall beside the break; keep the presentation close to useful cover.
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; make the next cast parallel to the edge.
