Pitcairne Reservoir is a reservoir in Delta County, Colorado, and covers about 9 acres and holds roughly 105 acre-feet.
Pitcairne Reservoir is small water, so a careful lap around the bank can show most of the useful cover.

An early tiger trout test should try a small spoon or minnow bait on light line around cool, open water.
How to Read the Water
On the 9-acre reservoir in Delta 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
At Pitcairne Reservoir, 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 Pitcairne Reservoir, a light spinning rod, thin line, a few small spoons, inline spinners, and jigs cover the listed trout; carry one slightly heavier setup when other fish or windy water call for more control.
At Pitcairne 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.
