• Where to Fish on Little Clayhole Reservoir

  Depth is unmeasured here, so let the shoreline guide you. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Open biodiversity records for Mohave County list flannelmouth sucker, bluehead sucker and common carp. County records show the wider picture rather than this one place. On Little Clayhole Reservoir that means starting tight and working out.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Seasonal averages run from 35°F in January up to 77°F in July. A long season, with weather mattering more than the month. It should never be assumed safe, whatever the month says. The cooler months are the comfortable ones to fish here. On Little Clayhole Reservoir that shapes the whole year.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing we hold confirms whether access is permitted. Records show it does not hold water year-round. Access is unmapped, which usually means a farm track and a walk. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Where access is informal, keep it that way by behaving. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. McBryde Reservoir at 3.4 miles is the sensible second choice. Treat access at Little Clayhole Reservoir as something to verify.
