• Where to Fish on Neversweat Reservoir

  Depth is unknown to us, and the shoreline is the better guide. Standing timber shows when the level drops, and fish sit against it. A reservoir gives you a hard edge, a shelf, and not much else. Reported across Delta County: rainbow trout, white sucker and flannelmouth sucker. Take it as the county picture rather than a promise for this water. Fish Neversweat Reservoir where the bottom changes rather than where it looks deep.

• Tackle & Baits

  We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. Nothing formal is recorded here: no ramp, no car park, no marked path. For the trout, small spinners and a box of nymphs cover both approaches. Check whether a boat is allowed before you tow one. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so.
