• Where to Fish on Little Deep Fork Creek Site 5 Reservoir

  There is no published depth for this one, so start shallow and work out. The arms fish better than the open middle whenever the water is up. Standing timber shows when the level drops, and fish sit against it. Records held for Lincoln County cover channel catfish, orangespotted sunfish, green sunfish, largemouth bass and bluegill. Species recorded across the county may be limited to a few waters. This water repays a walk before the first cast.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages here run 82°F at the top of summer and 36°F at the bottom of winter. Warm months push fish deep; cool months bring them back. March through May is the strongest run, with autumn a second stretch. Spring and autumn carry the year; summer squeezes it into the ends of the day. That shapes the year on this water.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing on record says whether the bank is open or closed. There is no recorded infrastructure here; expect to find your own way in. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Sort the permit out before you load the car. Fishing rules and camping rules are set separately here. The nearest alternative is Little Deep Fork Creek Site 4 Reservoir, 0.5 miles out. The position on this water is worth confirming on the day.
