In practice, use wind as a clue; a light push can carry food toward a shoreline, but hard wind may muddy it, so look for a clean edge near a point or protected pocket.

Season by Season

On the 59-acre reservoir in Rio Blanco County, shallow water is worth a careful look in spring and again during fall; bright summer days favor shade, weeds, or deeper breaks; under ice, a small depth change can be more useful than a long move.

A Simple Tackle Plan

When testing depth on this small, open reservoir in Rio Blanco 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.

To narrow down this small, open reservoir in Rio Blanco 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.
