No reliable acreage is listed for Stacey Reservoir Number Four, so begin with visible cover and the first clear change in depth.

Fish and Baits

Fish listed for Stacey Reservoir Number Four include Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, Largemouth Bass, Redside Shiner, and Rainbow Trout.

During a careful second pass near the outside weed line with stable weather, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.

During a warm summer afternoon near an open-water edge after a cold night, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.

During a careful second pass near a small drop beside useful cover, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.

During a cool spring morning near a soft-to-hard bottom change near visible bait, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.

How to Read the Water

During a careful second pass near the downwind side with a moving bait, use wind as a clue; a light push can carry food toward a bank, but hard wind may muddy it, so look for a clean edge near a point or protected pocket.

Season by Season

During a short evening pass near a firm-bottom flat while the water is rising, 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.

A Simple Tackle Plan

During a steady fall day near the first break in stained water, Later in the trip, 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 outside weed line under flat light, record the wind, water color, depth of the best 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.
