Honeybee Reservoir is a reservoir in Nevada, near Clark County.
Honeybee Reservoir is a reservoir in Clark County, Nevada and covers about 35.6 acres, reaches about 22 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 439 acre-feet.
A point, weed edge, or small drop is more important than simply covering the whole shoreline; keep the first route short.
The fish mix here is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch; use a light bait when the water is clear, then watch water color during the day.
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; keep a bottom rig ready for low light, then let a light jig fall beside the break.
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; test a shaded bank, then fish the same shape nearby.
Early in the year, protected water and the first warm afternoon can be the best clues; as the water heats up, check deeper edges without assuming every fish is on the bottom; cooling fall water often makes points and firm banks useful again; change depth before changing the whole spot, then fish the windy and calm sides differently.
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; follow the old channel through the lake, then give low-light water a slower bottom pass.
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; add vibration in stained water.
