Fish species in Little River Reservoir

Little River Reservoir is a reservoir in Montgomery County, and on a first trip I would start around one sheltered shoreline stretch and stay there until I find a repeatable bite in the first few casts. I would keep the opening plan simple around one sheltered section of water and leave it alone until I see a pattern develop in the first hour.

Little River Reservoir Size, Maximum Depth and Volume

A dependable standalone set of acreage, depth, and volume figures is not readily available for Little River Reservoir, so I would not guess at them until a dependable agency source confirms the number and would work one short section of water until I get a useful clue from the first hour.

Fish Species and Best Baits

For anglers, the useful species information for Little River Reservoir includes Bluegill and Largemouth Bass, so I would start with one first-choice species around one nearby part of the lake and let it run until I learn something from the opening stretch. Bass anglers on Little River Reservoir can start with a shallow crankbait or spinnerbait around one manageable part of the lake, then switch to a worm or jig when I see a pattern develop in the opening stretch.

A Practical Little River Reservoir Game Plan

I would approach Little River Reservoir by choosing one easy-to-read starting zone, one target, and a small tackle selection, then make only the changes the first few bites justify after I get a useful clue from the first adjustment. If I get a clear read from the first adjustment, I would stop searching randomly and fish one promising starting zone properly on Little River Reservoir. If I find a repeatable bite in the first adjustment, I would make a note of what happened around one straightforward starting zone and use that as the starting point the next time I fish Little River Reservoir.
