• Where to Fish on Schurr Reservoir Number 2

  Our records carry no depth, so judge it from the bank. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Records held for Frontier County cover common carp, black bullhead and bluegill. The list covers the county rather than this water alone, so treat it as a guide. Anyone new to this water should walk it once before setting up.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July near 76°F and January near 24°F on the long-run figures. Expect a real winter and a strong spring after it. The open season starts with the thaw, near enough mid March. In an average year the thaw lands around mid March and the freeze near mid December. The weeks after the thaw and the ones before the freeze are the strongest. Keep it in mind when planning a trip to this water.

• Tackle & Baits

  No public source sets out the position on this bank. Records show it does not hold water year-round. Nothing formal is recorded here: no ramp, no car park, no marked path. Catfish want bait on the bottom: cut bait or worms, a simple running rig, and patience after dark. Where access is informal, keep it that way by behaving. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. For a change of water, Sayer Reservoir Number 2 is 9.4 miles distant. Confirm before you fish this water.
