Gap Pocket Reservoir is a reservoir in Clark County, Nevada.

No reliable acreage is listed for Gap Pocket Reservoir, so begin with visible cover and the first clear change in depth.

Fish and Baits

The fish mix here is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch; use a slow bait after the search lure, then check both sides of the point.

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; begin where shallow cover meets depth, then match the hook and line to the named target.

How to Read the Water

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; check the clean side of wind, then let two bites set the useful depth.

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; work a quiet shoreline, then follow bait before changing areas.

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; let wind choose the first bank, then separate open-water fish from bank fish.

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; let a light jig fall beside the break.
