• Where to Fish on Wankinco River Reservoir

  Nothing we hold settles how deep this runs. The old creek line under the surface is the feature worth finding. Held water runs deepest at the wall and shallows back to the inflow. Plymouth County records list tessellated darter, striped bass, bluegill, swamp darter and chain pickerel among the fish reported. Take it as the county picture rather than a promise for this water. Read Wankinco River Reservoir for ten minutes before the first cast goes out.

• Tackle & Baits

  We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. Nothing in the way of made access shows up nearby: no ramp, no car park, no path. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Check locally before you travel, because a wasted drive is a long one. Signs go up and come down, so check on the day. Failing this one, try Golden Field Pond, 0.9 miles away. What applies at Wankinco River Reservoir may have changed since it was mapped.
