Fish and Baits
On the 66.7-acre reservoir in Jefferson County, the fish mix here is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.

How to Read the Water
Before leaving this small, open reservoir in Jefferson 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
To keep things simple on this small, open reservoir in Jefferson County, spring runoff can add color and pull fish toward fresh water; green weeds and the first drop become stronger summer targets; in fall, follow bait toward points and shallow flats, while winter rewards a slower search.
A Simple Tackle Plan
At Tucker Lake, 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 Tucker Lake, 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.
