Dangberg Reservoir Number Four is a reservoir in Douglas County, Nevada and covers about 60.8 acres, reaches about 25.7 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 671.8 acre-feet.

Dangberg Reservoir Number Four can be broken down in a few passes: shallow cover, the first break, and the deepest useful water.

Fish and Baits

The fish mix here is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch; try the first deep shelf after the bank, then watch for food before choosing lure depth.

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; check the coolest inflow, then give low-light water a slower bottom pass.

How to Read the 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; check a rocky edge, then try natural colors in clear water.

Season by Season

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; test the quiet side before the windy side, then watch water color during the day.

A Simple Tackle Plan

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; fish a small bottom change, then follow bait before changing areas.

Record the wind, water color, depth of the first bite, 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; check the first shelf outside shallow cover.
