• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July to average close to 80°F, with January the cold end at about 30°F. In milder years the surface never sets. It is not guaranteed from one year to the next. March through May is the strongest run, with October and November a second stretch. Severy Municipal Reservoir fishes to that pattern most years.

• Tackle & Baits

  Ownership and access are not documented in what we hold. Mapping shows no built access close by; expect to walk in from wherever you can leave the car. For the catfish, fish bottom baits into the deeper holes and let them sit. Parking is often the real limit rather than the bank itself. Some stretches are reserved and marked as such on the ground. Fall River Lake at 5.6 miles is the sensible second choice. Rules at Severy Municipal Reservoir are worth checking on the day.
