Vr 079 Reservoir is a reservoir in Valley County, Montana and covers about 1.84 acres.
The small size of Vr 079 Reservoir makes quiet casts and short moves more useful than carrying a pile of tackle.
Along the quiet end of a gravel shelf, the fish mix here is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.
Near the deep corner of the old channel, 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.
Beside the open side of a flooded tree line, 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.
Around the darker edge of a steep shoreline, 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.
Beside the darker edge of a wooded bank, 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 steep side of an outside bend, 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.
