• Where to Fish on Lamborn Reservoir Number 2

  Depth is unmeasured here, so let the shoreline guide you. Levels move with the draw rather than the rain on water like this. Points where the flooded channel swings in are the reliable ones. Morgan County records list common carp, white sucker, Iowa darter, green sunfish and yellow perch among the fish reported. What holds for the county may not hold for this water. On this water a short move beats a long cast.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Long-term averages put July at about 74°F and January near 26°F. Spring and autumn are the strongest, but nothing is truly closed. Cover comes and goes, so treat it with suspicion rather than trust. June to September is hot work, so the first and last hours are what count. Plan around that when you fish this water.

• Tackle & Baits

  Ownership and access are not documented in what we hold. Access points are not mapped for this water, which suits people who like quiet. For the carp, bait a margin spot and sit on it; corn and bread still work. Check locally before you travel, because a wasted drive is a long one. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. Bijou Number 2 Reservoir at 5.5 miles is the sensible second choice. Confirm access to this water locally before you travel.
