Manzonie Reservoir is a reservoir in Nye County, Nevada and covers about 9.6 acres, reaches about 15 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 240 acre-feet.
Manzonie Reservoir 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; search one cove before changing areas, then change lure speed before moving.
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; look for a clean edge beside cover, then match the hook and line to the named target.
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; fish a small bottom change, then test the drop before leaving.
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; try firm bottom before soft silt, then repeat the depth that gives the first 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; look along a shallow shelf, then fish the same shape nearby.
Record the wind, water color, depth beside the clean edge, 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; cast across the break instead of along it, then fish the windy and calm sides differently.
