Suisun Reservoir is a reservoir in Solano County, California and covers about 8.9 acres, reaches about 22 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 169 acre-feet.
Suisun Reservoir is small water, so a careful lap around the bank can show most of the useful cover.
Fish listed for Suisun Reservoir include Bluegill, Channel Catfish, Common Carp, Green Sunfish, Hitch, Largemouth Bass, Sacramento Blackfish, Sacramento Pikeminnow, Sacramento Sucker, and Rainbow Trout.
One direct bluegill tactic on Suisun Reservoir is to use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets.
The first largemouth bass pass on Suisun Reservoir should work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover.
When channel catfish are the target on Suisun Reservoir, fish cut bait or a nightcrawler on the bottom along a channel edge or warm flat.
For rainbow trout on Suisun Reservoir, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water.
Other targets listed here include Common Carp; give each one its own bait and depth instead of trying to catch everything with the same rig; start with the cover closest to deep water, then change lure speed before moving.
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; check the downwind corner for food, then let a light jig fall beside the break.
Early in the year, protected water and the first warm afternoon can be the best clues; as the water heats up, check deeper edges without assuming every fish is on the bottom; cooling fall water often makes points and firm banks useful again; start with the cover closest to deep water, then work each small drop before going deeper.
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; match lure size to the fish; keep the first pass close to structure, then save the heaviest tackle for deep cover.
Record the wind, water color, depth of the best pass, 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; look for a clean edge beside cover, then keep the bait above soft bottom.
