Reservoir 42

Anglers looking at Habersham County will find Reservoir 42, a reservoir; I would give one easy-to-read area near the launch a fair chance and resist moving until I get a useful clue from the opening stretch. A first trip should leave me with something specific, so I would stay around one manageable area near the launch until I see enough in the first area.

Reservoir 42 Size, Maximum Depth and Volume

Reliable acreage, maximum depth, and storage figures are hard to verify for Reservoir 42, so I would leave those numbers open until a verified bathymetric map supports the measurement and fish one nearby area near the launch until I see enough in the first adjustment.

Fishing This Water

A reliable fish list for Reservoir 42 is difficult to confirm, so I would carry one versatile setup with a jig, spinner, and bait rig, fish one short piece of water, and leave the target open until I see enough in the first hour. I would keep the tackle narrow on Reservoir 42, fish one sheltered piece of water, and avoid changing everything until I get a clear read from the first setup.

A Practical Reservoir 42 Game Plan

My first plan for Reservoir 42 would be to fish one straightforward section of bank deliberately and change depth before changing every bait only after I get a clear read from the opening stretch. When I learn something from the first area, I would stay around one promising section of bank on Reservoir 42 and build the rest of the trip around that pattern. If I learn something from the first adjustment, I would count that as a successful first visit and come back to Reservoir 42 with one easy-to-read shoreline stretch already on the short list.
