How to Read the Water
During a slow pass across this small, open reservoir in San Juan County, do not let the deepest number control the whole day; nearby cover, firm bottom, and food usually matter more than the deepest hole by itself.
Season by Season
To narrow down this small, open reservoir in San Juan 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
After choosing a bank on this small, open reservoir in San Juan 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 productive depth, water color, cover, and wind; those details help more on the next trip than a long list of empty spots.
