• Where to Fish on Cameron Reservoir Number 2

  Nothing in our records gives a depth for this one. The arms fish better than the open middle whenever the water is up. Points where the flooded channel swings in are the reliable ones. Across Clinton County, recorded fish include green sunfish, bluegill and johnny darter. Those are county-wide records, so not every one of them will be in this water. At this water the first feature you find is worth twenty minutes.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The seasonal spread runs 25°F to 77°F. Temperature moves within a narrow band, and so does the fishing. It should never be assumed safe, whatever the month says. Autumn steadies things again once the heat lets go. The season on this water follows the weather closely. Nights draw in quickly late in the season, so plan the walk back.

• Tackle & Baits

  No access rule appears in what we hold. No made access appears within a short radius, so plan to park on a verge and walk. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Local rules can differ across the county line, so check where you stand. Rules for boats are stricter than rules for the bank in many places. Cameron Number 1 Reservoir sits 0.7 miles off and takes the overflow. Treat access at this water as something to verify.
