Fish and Baits

On the 319-acre reservoir in Gunnison County, the fish mix here is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.

To keep things simple on this midsize, open reservoir in Gunnison 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

On a careful pass over this midsize, open reservoir in Gunnison 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

Before leaving this midsize, open reservoir in Gunnison 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

While checking this midsize, open reservoir in Gunnison 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.

Before changing spots on this midsize, open reservoir in Gunnison 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.
