Lovell Reservoir gives up its fish to patience rather than distance.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warm month here averages 69°F; the cold one sits at 22°F. Seasons are distinct, and each one fishes differently. The lid usually goes in early April, which opens the strongest weeks of the year. Averages suggest open water from about early April through to roughly late December. September and October fish steadily right up to the freeze. Plan around that when you fish Lovell Reservoir.

• Tackle & Baits

  The access position is unclear from public sources. A car park sits roughly half a mile away. City Forest covers ground next to the water; its rules will apply on that side. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Look for a notice board at the entrance. Fishing rules and camping rules are set separately here. The nearest alternative is Falulah Reservoir, 0.4 miles out. Signs at Lovell Reservoir carry more weight than any list.
