Fish and Baits

On the 97.4-acre reservoir in Teller County, the fish mix here is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.

How to Read the Water

When breaking down this small, open reservoir in Teller 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 simple plan, early in the year, protected water and the first warm afternoon can be the strongest clues; as the water heats up, check lower edges without assuming every fish is on the bottom; cooling fall water often makes points and firm banks useful again.

A Simple Tackle Plan

While working this small, open reservoir in Teller 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.

For the first look at this small, open reservoir in Teller 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.
