• Where to Fish on Swins Lake B

  The records we hold are silent on depth, so plan to find it yourself. A reservoir gives you a hard edge, a shelf, and not much else. The old creek line under the surface is the feature worth finding. Nearby survey and observation records mention bluegill, redbreast sunfish and black crappie. Local agencies hold the definitive list for this water. Fish Swins Lake B to its features, not to its size.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages move between 41°F in January and 78°F in July. Heat sets the pattern from late spring onward. Heat pushes fish deep from June onwards, so start early. June to September is hot work, so the first and last hours are what count. It holds true on Swins Lake B more years than not.

• Tackle & Baits

  Our records carry no access rule either way. Access is unmapped, which usually means a farm track and a walk. Catfish want bait on the bottom: cut bait or worms, a simple running rig, and patience after dark. State or provincial rules still apply whatever the bank status. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. Swins Lake A, 0.4 miles away, makes the obvious fallback. Nothing here settles the position at Swins Lake B for certain.
