Argon Reservoir is a reservoir in Nevada, near Washoe County.
Argon Reservoir is a reservoir in Washoe County, Nevada and covers about 0.2 acres, reaches about 5.2 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 0.6 acre-feet.
The small size of Argon Reservoir makes quiet casts and short moves more useful than carrying a pile of tackle. With little deep water in Argon Reservoir, weeds, wind, and water color can matter more than depth alone.
The fish mix here is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch; separate open water from cover.
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; fish the edge from top to bottom.
Make one shallow pass and one deeper pass on the same shoreline; that shows whether fish are tight to cover or using the first break; note the exact cover that gives a bite.
In spring, start with warming banks, creek mouths, and shallow cover; summer usually pushes the better bite toward the outside weed edge or a nearby drop; fall can bring bait back to windblown points, while winter calls for smaller moves and a slower pace; repeat the depth that gives the first bite.
At Argon Reservoir, 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.
Record the wind, water color, depth along the best drop, 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; keep a worm ready for a slower check.
