Fish and Baits

On a careful pass over this small, open reservoir in Huerfano 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 Huerfano County, use wind as a clue; a light push can carry food toward a bank, but hard wind may muddy it, so look for a clean edge near a point or protected pocket.

Season by Season

To keep things simple on this small, open reservoir in Huerfano 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

While checking this small, open reservoir in Huerfano 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.

While checking this small, open reservoir in Huerfano 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.
