Glade Reservoir is a reservoir in Dolores County, Colorado, and covers about 0.7 acres.

The small size of Glade Reservoir makes quiet casts and short moves more useful than carrying a pile of tackle.

Fish and Baits

At Glade Reservoir, the fish mix here is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.

At Glade Reservoir, 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

At Glade Reservoir, 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

When testing depth on this small, open reservoir in Dolores County, in spring, start with warming banks, creek mouths, and shallow cover; summer usually pushes the better bite toward the outside weed edge or a nearby drop; fall can bring bait back to windblown points, while winter calls for smaller moves and a slower pace.

A Simple Tackle Plan

At Glade Reservoir, 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.

At Glade Reservoir, 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.
