• Where to Fish on Mill Creek Watershed 2 Reservoir

  Without a survey to go on, judge depth from how the bank falls away. Points where the flooded channel swings in are the reliable ones. Look for where the old bank line still shows under the surface. Records held for Murray County cover green sunfish, Rio Grande longear sunfish, plains darter, bluegill and largemouth bass. These are county-wide records, so not all of them will be in this water. On this water the quiet end is the one worth the extra effort.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Typical July readings run about 81°F; by January the average is down near 38°F. There is no frozen season to plan round. Late winter and spring fish steadiest here. The cooler months are the comfortable ones to fish here. It holds true on this water more years than not. Late evening often out-fishes the whole afternoon.

• Tackle & Baits

  There is no clear statement anywhere on who can fish it. Mapping shows no built access close by; expect to walk in from wherever you can leave the car. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Take the rules with you rather than trusting memory. Rules for boats are stricter than rules for the bank in many places. Failing this one, try Mill Creek Watershed 1 Reservoir, 0.7 miles away. Rules at this water are worth checking on the day.
