Bass
Begin the largemouth search on Nazareth Reservoir with a moving bait, then pick apart wood or weeds with a worm.

Channel catfish in Nazareth Reservoir take cut bait, nightcrawlers and prepared bait on a slip-sinker rig.
A Simple Fishing Plan for Nazareth Reservoir
Fish one protected section slowly before testing the windblown side, because the two banks can have very different water color on Nazareth Reservoir. Then check the original creek route, the dam end and any point on Nazareth Reservoir that reaches toward deeper water.
When to Fish Nazareth Reservoir
Spring at Nazareth Reservoir favors warming coves, feeder mouths and protected spawning banks. Once summer heat settles over Nazareth Reservoir, work the deepest active cover instead of assuming every fish has moved to the bottom. Windblown points on Nazareth Reservoir become worth checking when autumn baitfish move shallow.
