Fish listed for Hatten Well include Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, Rainbow Trout, and Yellow Perch.
During a cool spring morning near a narrow cove where food is present, keep a small jig tipped with a worm or minnow close to bottom on a shelf for yellow perch.
During a low-light period near an open-water edge after a cold night, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.
During the first pass near a firm-bottom flat where food is present, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
During a cool spring morning near an open-water edge under flat light, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.
During the first pass near the mouth of a pocket before changing depth, Other targets listed here include Rainbow Trout; give each one its own bait and depth instead of trying to catch everything with the same rig.
During the last hour of daylight near scattered wood where food is present, Make one shallow pass and one deeper pass on the same shoreline; that shows whether fish are tight to cover or using the first break.
While using a slow pass beside cover near a small drop beside useful cover, 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 the first pass near a shaded bank under flat light, 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 bright afternoon near a protected point before changing areas, 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.
