No reliable acreage is listed for Brydon Reservoir, so begin with visible cover and the first clear change in depth.
Fish listed for Brydon Reservoir include Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, and Largemouth Bass.
During a low-light period near a channel bend near firm bottom, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.
During the first hour near a firm-bottom flat while the water is falling, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
During a methodical search near the downwind side while the water is rising, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.
During a return to the best bank near a protected point where food is present, 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 check of nearby water near the first break beside useful cover, 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.
During a return to the best bank near a channel bend where food is present, 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.
During a quick scouting pass near the first break in clear water, record the wind, water color, depth beside useful cover, 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.
