If you are looking for an outdoor adventure, consider going fishing. Fishing is a relaxing pastime enjoyed by millions of Americans. When fishing, you will have many choices on location. The biggest choice is a lake or reservoir. While they are similar in many ways, the two locations do have some stark differences.

Reservoirs are man–made and lakes occur naturally. Generally, a lake will offer deeper fishing waters. Also, a lake may have a wider variety of fish. When lake fishing, the fish tend to be more active at dusk and dawn. At a reservoir, fish will be active at all times. Fish tend to be easier to catch in a reservoir. This is because the water tends to flow upwards. When fishing in a reservoir, look for river arms and feeder creeks. These are popular feeding spots for many fish. The shallow water of a reservoir may make some fish more aggressive. If you insist on fishing a reservoir, look for a spot that is not as shallow. Whether you choose to fish on a lake or at a reservoir, look for vegetation. Vegetation tends to attract fish. Also, fish are attracted to docks and other coverings. Lakes and reservoirs offer advantages and disadvantages. Experiment with each to find the perfect fishing spot.
