Question about Dexter Reservoir

[venetafisher]

Haven't fished it yet, but plan to. Do the stocked trout tend to stay put in the western part of the lake, on the west side of the covered bridge, or do they wander into the eastern portion, between the bridge and the Lookout dam? Thanks.

While I only occasionally fish Dexter, I've found that I do best while trolling the south shore.

I've only been there twice. But it depends on water temp. If the water temp is high, they'll hunker down in a deep pocket a couple of hundred yards from the dam. On the north side. Park at the marina ramps lot, and follow the trail west if you're on foot.

The smallies should be pretty active right now. So work the rip rap, if you want to chase 'em. Near the bridge.
