Fish and Baits
Fish listed for Price Reservoir include Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, and Largemouth Bass.
During a steady fall day near scattered wood with a slow lure, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.
During a careful second pass near a rocky edge after warm rain, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
During a low-light period near a quiet corner in clear water, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.
How to Read the Water
During a calm morning near a clean gravel patch in clear water, 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.
Season by Season
During the start of a weather change near the outside weed line beside useful cover, spring runoff can add color and pull fish toward fresh water; green weeds and the first drop become stronger summer targets; in fall, follow bait toward points and shallow flats, while winter rewards a slower search.
A Simple Tackle Plan
During the last hour of daylight near a narrow cove 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 return to the best bank near the first break beside useful cover, 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.
