Fish and Baits

For the first look at this small, open lake in La Plata County, the fish mix here is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.

For the first look at this small, open lake in La Plata 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

For the first look at this small, open lake in La Plata 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

While working this small, open lake in La Plata County, 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.

A Simple Tackle Plan

During an opening pass on this small, open lake in La Plata 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.

After a bite, write down wind, productive depth, water color, and cover; that short note is more useful next time than a pile of spots that did not produce.
