Fish and Baits

On a careful pass over this small, open reservoir in Teller County, the fish mix here is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.

On the 6-acre reservoir in Teller 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

During a slow pass across this small, open reservoir in Teller 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

On the 6-acre reservoir in Teller County, spring runoff can add color and pull fish toward fresh water; green weeds and the first drop become stronger summer targets; in fall, follow bait toward points and shallow flats, while winter rewards a slower search.

A Simple Tackle Plan

During a slow pass across 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.

While learning 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.
