Fish and Baits

During a slow pass across this small, open reservoir in Weld County, the fish mix here is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.

To keep things simple on this small, open reservoir in Weld County, 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

While working this small, open reservoir in Weld County, 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.

Season by Season

To narrow down this small, open reservoir in Weld County, in spring, start with warming banks, creek mouths, and shallow cover; summer usually pushes the better bite toward the outside weed edge or a nearby drop; fall can bring bait back to windblown points, while winter calls for smaller moves and a slower pace.

A Simple Tackle Plan

To narrow down this small, open reservoir in Weld County, 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.

During a slow pass across this small, open reservoir in Weld County, 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.
