On a careful pass over this midsize, shallow reservoir in Grand County, try this for brown trout: work a small minnow bait, spoon, or streamer along cool breaks and moving water.

How to Read the Water

On the 108-acre reservoir in Grand County, make one shallow pass and one deeper pass on the same shoreline; that shows whether fish are tight to cover or using the first break.

Season by Season

On the 108-acre reservoir in Grand 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

While checking this midsize, shallow reservoir in Grand County, 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.

On the 108-acre reservoir in Grand 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.
