Season by Season
For a first pass, shallow water is worth a careful look in spring and again during fall; bright summer days favor shade, weeds, or lower breaks; under ice, a small depth change can be more useful than a long shift.
A Simple Tackle Plan
After choosing a bank on this small, open reservoir in Alamosa 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.
