Fish and Baits

After choosing a bank on this small, open reservoir in La Plata County, the fish mix here is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.

For the first look at this small, open reservoir in La Plata 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 an opening pass on this small, open reservoir in La Plata 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

On a careful pass over this small, open reservoir in La Plata 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 an opening pass on this small, open reservoir in La Plata 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.

After choosing a bank on this small, open reservoir in La Plata 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.
