Lake Meredith

Set in Colorado, United States, Lake Meredith is a reservoir that holds the typical mix of warm-water and cool-water species you'd expect for the area. Anglers fishing Lake Meredith usually focus their effort on transitions: the edges of weed beds, points that stick out into deeper water, and the shaded sides of any inflow. Early morning and the last hour of light tend to be the most productive windows on a body of water this size.

Fishing Techniques

• For Channel catfish

  Fish near structure like submerged trees or rocks, as channel catfish often use these areas for ambush points and shelter.

• For Yellow bullhead

  Fish near the bottom, as yellow bullheads are bottom feeders. Use a slip bobber to suspend your bait just off the bottom in deeper water.

• For Black crappie

  Vary your retrieve speed until you find what the crappie are responding to; sometimes slow and steady is best, other times a twitching action triggers strikes.
