If you mean reservoir fishing for bass, start with these:

Why these fit

These are the strongest reservoir-style bass options in the set: craw-style soft plastics and football heads are a good match for rocky points, ledges, and deeper structure common in reservoirs. The California Reservoir Lures CRL FOOTBALL HEADS MAGIC CRAW and California Reservoir Lures CRL FOOTBALL HEADS MATTE BLACK are especially practical when you want a bottom-contact presentation. The California Reservoir Lures JIGMASTER SILICONE SERIES MORNING DAWN and California Reservoir Lures PRO STAFF SERIES STRANGE BREW give you color/finish options for changing light and water clarity. If you want bulk soft-plastic craws, California Reservoir Lures CRL CUSTOM SILICONE ML PERFECT CRAW is the simplest buy.

Technique notes

For bass, fish the craw/jig options on bottom around rock, points, and drop-offs with short hops or slow drags. For trout, Fast Flies Black Buzzers / nym x 3 (Barbed) are meant to be fished static just under the surface film on a floating line, while Fast Flies Clan Chief snatcher x 3 (Barbed) can be fished on the top dropper with floating or sinking line on windy days.

When to switch

Switch away from craws/jigs if fish are suspended, chasing bait, or feeding high in the water column—then a trout fly or a different moving presentation is usually better. If you’re fishing in heavy rain, wind, or cold spray, the apparel items like Buck & Bass Buck N' Bass Reservoir Rain Jacket and Buck & Bass Buck N' Bass Reservoir Bibs are the better “reservoir” picks.
