The recorded size of Holding Corral Reservoir is missing; fish one short bank carefully before deciding whether a wider search makes sense.
Fish listed for Holding Corral Reservoir include Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, Largemouth Bass, Redside Shiner, and Rainbow Trout.
During a cool spring morning near a firm-bottom flat away from empty shoreline, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.
During an overcast morning near the mouth of a pocket before changing areas, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
During a check of nearby water near the outside weed line where two features meet, 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 the first break before changing depth, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
During a steady fall day near a protected point where two features meet, 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 the first hour near the outside weed line with a slow lure, 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 steady fall day near scattered wood with stable weather, 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 slow shoreline pass near scattered wood while the water is rising, record the wind, water color, depth of the first bite, 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.
