Dick Reservoir is a reservoir in Elko County, Nevada.
Without a dependable size figure for Dick Reservoir, weeds, rock, water color, and nearby depth are the best starting clues.
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 pause longer when cold water slows the bite.
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 a small bottom change, then test the drop before leaving.
At Dick Reservoir, 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.
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; note the exact cover that gives a bite.
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; start where bait gathers, then use a smaller lure in clear water.
Record the wind, water color, lure depth that worked, 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 the bait above soft bottom.
