Fish and Baits

When testing depth on 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.

For the first look at this small, open 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

To narrow down this small, open reservoir in Morgan County, start where two things meet: weeds and open water, rock and mud, a point and a drop, or clear water and dirty water; fish that edge at more than one depth before leaving it.

Season by Season

On the 2-acre 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

On the 2-acre 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.

On the 2-acre 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.
