Barth Pit is a lake in Eureka County, Nevada.
Barth Pit is a lake in Eureka County, Nevada and covers about 17.5 acres, reaches about 19.5 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 136.8 acre-feet.
Barth Pit is small water, so a careful lap around the bank can show most of the useful cover.
The fish mix here is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch; pause the bait on each small drop, then try a natural color before a loud pattern.
At Barth Pit, 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.
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; give low-light water a slower bottom pass.
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; make the next cast parallel to the edge.
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; check the first shelf outside shallow cover.
Record the wind, water color, depth where the school held, 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; separate open water from cover.
