Fish listed for Creekside Development Reservoir No. 1 include Black Crappie, Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, Cutthroat Trout, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pikeminnow, Rainbow Trout, and Yellow Perch.
During a cold winter outing near a rocky edge while the water is falling, keep a small jig tipped with a worm or minnow close to bottom on a shelf for yellow perch.
During a cold winter outing near the mouth of a pocket where food is present, fish a small jig or minnow around wood, weeds, and sharp little drops for black crappie.
During a methodical search near the downwind side before changing depth, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.
During the first hour near a narrow cove where two features meet, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
During the last hour of daylight near a windblown shore before changing areas, Other targets listed here include Brown Bullhead, and Rainbow Trout; give each one its own bait and depth instead of trying to catch everything with the same rig.
During the final pass near a protected point with a slow lure, do not let the deepest number control the whole day; nearby cover, firm bottom, and food usually matter more than the deepest hole by itself.
During a short evening pass near a channel bend with light wind, 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 check of nearby water near the edge of deeper water in clear water, 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 a short evening pass near the first break close to shade, 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.
