Fish listed for Stoney Mountain Reservoir include Black Crappie, Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, Cutthroat Trout, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pikeminnow, Rainbow Trout, and Yellow Perch.
During the last hour of daylight near a firm-bottom flat with light wind, keep a small jig tipped with a worm or minnow close to bottom on a shelf for yellow perch.
During a slow shoreline pass near the downwind side with light wind, fish a small jig or minnow around wood, weeds, and sharp little drops for black crappie.
During a check of nearby water near the downwind side before changing depth, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.
During a low-light period near a protected point before changing depth, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
During a cool spring morning near the first break with light wind, 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 a short evening pass near the mouth of a pocket where two features meet, 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 steady fall day near scattered wood where food is present, 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 warm summer afternoon near the mouth of a pocket with a slow lure, 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 quick scouting pass near an open-water edge where food is present, record the wind, water color, depth near the strongest cover, 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.
