  Depth is unmeasured here, so let the shoreline guide you. Points where the flooded channel swings in are the reliable ones. Levels move with the draw rather than the rain on water like this. Species logged across Wallace-Woodworth include stonecat. The county list is broader than any single water. On Kenton Reservoir the first feature you find is usually worth a session.

• Seasonal Patterns

  July is the warm end of the year here, averaging about 19°C, while January sits near -18°C. The season turns properly here, and fish follow it closely. Once it clears, about late April, the fishing comes on quickly. Going by climate averages, expect open water from about late April until roughly mid November. The strongest runs come at either end of the open season. Anyone fishing Kenton Reservoir regularly works to that calendar.

A light spinning outfit with a small box of lures and some bait covers most of what swims here. Some banks are open only from a marked point. Where the way in crosses private ground, ask first.
