• Seasonal Patterns

  Long-term averages put July at about 76°F and January near 30°F. A long season, with weather mattering more than the month. It is not guaranteed from one year to the next. June to September is hot work, so the first and last hours are what count. At Thatcher Reservoir the season follows that pattern closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access is not recorded for this water. Public data shows nothing built here, so treat the whole approach as informal. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. A phone call first saves an afternoon. Where the way in crosses private ground, ask first. For a change of water, Tolle and Ditch Reservoir Number 1 is 9 miles distant.
