There is enough room for fish to move at West Valley Reservoir, so compare a protected side with a windblown bank before settling on one depth. Deep water at West Valley Reservoir gives fish room to move away from shore as summer heat and bright light build.
Use a simple moving bait near cover; match lure size to the visible food, then work each small drop before going deeper.
Treat 79.2 feet as the deepest point, not the automatic fishing depth; start near cover and move deeper only when bites or bait give a reason.
It confirms that rainbow trout were released, but it does not prove that fish are now common or easy to catch; follow the outside weed line, then watch for food before choosing lure depth.
