Fish and Baits

After choosing a bank on 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.

On a careful pass over 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

When breaking down this small, open reservoir in Weld County, make one shallow pass and one deeper pass on the same shoreline; that shows whether fish are tight to cover or using the first break.

Season by Season

For a quick check of this small, open reservoir in Weld County, early in the year, protected water and the first warm afternoon can be the best clues; as the water heats up, check deeper edges without assuming every fish is on the bottom; cooling fall water often makes points and firm banks useful again.

A Simple Tackle Plan

When testing depth on 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.

When breaking down 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.
