• Where to Fish on Fairview Reservoir Number 2

Survey and observation records for Jefferson County include rainbow trout, brown trout and common carp. The list covers the county rather than this water alone, so treat it as a guide. Work this water in sections rather than trying to cover it.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The range across the year is 29°F to 69°F. Conditions shift steadily rather than sharply. It should never be assumed safe, whatever the month says. February into May fishes hardest as the water warms. It holds true on this water more years than not. Wind on the bank for a day or two lifts the fishing there.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access status is simply unknown for this water. A parking area is marked roughly half a mile out. Facilities include toilets around half a mile from here. For the trout, small spinners and a box of nymphs cover both approaches. A phone call first saves an afternoon. Night access is frequently treated as a separate matter. Fairview Reservoir at 0.5 miles is the sensible second choice. Treat this water as unsettled until someone local tells you otherwise.
