On a water as small as Border Reservoir, one weed edge or deeper pocket can hold much of the day’s activity.
Near the quiet end of a small island, the fish mix here is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.
Along the firm edge of a shaded bank, 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.
Along the outer drop of a small island, 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.
Near the first edge of a windblown shore, 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.
Around the lower edge of a quiet pocket, 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.
Near the quiet end of a shallow saddle, record the wind, water color, depth that held fish, 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.
