Fish listed for Brewster Reservoir include Black Crappie, Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, Channel Catfish, Common Carp, Largemouth Bass, Redside Shiner, Smallmouth Bass, Rainbow Trout, and Tui Chub.
During the last hour of daylight near a channel bend near visible bait, fish a small jig or minnow around wood, weeds, and sharp little drops for black crappie.
During the last hour of daylight near a small drop in clear water, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.
During a cold winter outing near the edge of deeper water where food is present, drag a tube or Ned rig across rock and the hard edge of a point for smallmouth bass.
During an overcast morning near an open-water edge with light wind, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
During a cold winter outing near the edge of deeper water with light wind, Other targets listed here include Channel Catfish, Brown Bullhead, Rainbow Trout, and Common Carp; give each one its own bait and depth instead of trying to catch everything with the same rig.
During a short evening pass near scattered wood after warm rain, 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.
During a short evening pass near a channel bend where food is present, 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.
During a warm summer afternoon near a soft-to-hard bottom change near firm bottom, a light spinning rod, thin line, a few small spoons, inline spinners, and jigs cover the listed trout; carry one slightly heavier setup when other fish or windy water call for more control.
During the start of a weather change near a shallow shelf near visible bait, record the wind, water color, depth of the first good pass, 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.
