Fish listed for Dicks Reservoir include Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, Largemouth Bass, Redside Shiner, and Rainbow Trout.
During a cool spring morning near the mouth of a pocket with a slow lure, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.
During a bright afternoon near a rocky edge with stable weather, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
During a cool spring morning near a rocky edge with light wind, 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 shaded bank near firm bottom, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
During the start of a weather change near a soft-to-hard bottom change 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 the final pass near a rocky edge in clear water, 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 short evening pass near a protected point near visible bait, 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 rocky edge where two features meet, record the wind, water color, depth that held fish, 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.
