Skinner Reservoir FAQs
What is a simple way to start fishing for black crappie at Skinner Reservoir?
Fish a small jig or minnow around wood, weeds, and sharp little drops; change lure speed before moving.
What does the 73.8 feet deepest point mean when fishing Skinner Reservoir?
Treat 73.8 feet as the deepest point, not the automatic fishing depth; start near cover and move deeper only when bites or bait give a reason.
What does the stocking history mean at Skinner Reservoir?
It confirms that rainbow trout were released, but it does not prove that fish are now common or easy to catch; check a protected pocket after sunrise, then check both sides of the point.
