Fish reported from Bridgeport Reservoir include black crappie, bluegill, common carp, largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, walleye, and yellow perch. Channel catfish are also stocked in Bridgeport Reservoir.
When largemouth bass hold tight to cover on Bridgeport Reservoir, a compact jig or weedless worm is more useful than repeated open-water casts. Use a tube, Ned rig or small swimbait for Bridgeport Reservoir smallmouth where firm bottom meets deeper water.
Crappie at Bridgeport Reservoir respond to a small jig or live minnow beside brush and suspended cover. Use a tiny jig or natural bait under a float when fishing Bridgeport Reservoir for bluegill and related sunfish. A small minnow or worm on a light rig fits yellow perch fishing at Bridgeport Reservoir.
For Bridgeport Reservoir walleye, follow the old channel with a jig or pull a crankbait across the first sharp break.
Let wind and water clarity choose the starting bank, then follow that bank until the bottom or cover changes on Bridgeport Reservoir. Then check the original creek route, the dam end and any point on Bridgeport Reservoir that reaches toward deeper water.
A sunny spring afternoon can pull Bridgeport Reservoir fish toward dark bottom, wood and new vegetation. Summer fish in Bridgeport Reservoir may feed shallow at dawn before settling beside cover or deeper structure. Cooling water can bring Bridgeport Reservoir fish back to points and banks where bait gathers.
