Reservoir Number One

In Stephens County, Reservoir Number One is listed as a reservoir; my opening stop would be one straightforward starting zone, and I would stay with it until I get a useful clue from the opening stretch. The first trip does not have to solve everything, so I would keep fishing one promising area near the launch until I see enough in the first area before I add more distance or tackle.

Reservoir Number One Size, Maximum Depth and Volume

Exact size and depth measurements are sparse for Reservoir Number One, so I would leave the figures unstated until a verified bathymetric map supports the measurement and use one easy-to-read area near the launch until I see enough in the first adjustment.

Fishing This Water

Species information for Reservoir Number One is limited, so I would use one versatile setup with a jig, spinner, and bait rig around one manageable piece of water and wait to specialize until I get a clear read from the first few casts. I would choose one bait style that fits the target on Reservoir Number One, work it around one nearby piece of water, and keep it there until I get a clear read from the nearby water.

A Practical Reservoir Number One Game Plan

For a first trip to Reservoir Number One, I would fish one short piece of water long enough to judge the plan, then change location before rebuilding the tackle plan after I get a clear read from the opening stretch. After I learn something from the first area, I would give one sheltered section of bank more time on Reservoir Number One instead of immediately looking elsewhere. Once I learn something from the first adjustment, I would remember what worked around one straightforward section of bank and begin the next trip to Reservoir Number One with that same clue.
