Fish and Baits

While working this small, open reservoir in Alamosa County, the fish mix here is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.

On the 16.3-acre reservoir in Alamosa 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 Alamosa 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

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.

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