Vr 071 Reservoir is small water, so a careful lap around the bank can show most of the useful cover.
Along the open side of a small bay, the fish mix here is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.
Around the soft edge of a firm-bottom hump, 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.
Around the clearer side of a main-lake point, use wind as a clue; a light push can carry food toward a bank, but hard wind may muddy it, so look for a clean edge near a point or protected pocket.
Around the open side of the first drop, shallow water is worth a careful look in spring and again during fall; bright summer days favor shade, weeds, or deeper breaks; under ice, a small depth change can be more useful than a long move.
Across the rocky lip of an open-water break, 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.
Beside the hard edge of an inlet turn, record the wind, water color, depth of the first good pass, 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.
