Fish and Baits

Before leaving this small, open reservoir in Morgan County, the fish mix here is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.

On the 50-acre reservoir in Morgan 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

Before changing spots on this small, open reservoir in Morgan 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

When breaking down this small, open reservoir in Morgan 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

During a slow pass across this small, open reservoir in Morgan 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 keep things simple on this small, open reservoir in Morgan 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.
