Fish listed for Wellspring Reservoir include Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, and Largemouth Bass.
During a cool spring morning near a clean gravel patch where two features meet, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.
During the final pass near a firm-bottom flat in stained water, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
During a bright afternoon near a creek-side turn before changing depth, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.
During a slow shoreline pass near a channel bend close to shade, 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 a small drop with a moving bait, 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.
During the first hour near a windblown shore before changing depth, 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 low-light period near a firm-bottom flat in clear water, record the wind, water color, depth that produced twice, 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.
