• Where to Fish on Salt Creek Site 15 Reservoir

  We hold no survey for this water; read the slope of the shoreline instead. Held water runs deepest at the wall and shallows back to the inflow. The old creek line under the surface is the feature worth finding. Open biodiversity records for Pottawatomie County list bluegill, green sunfish, white crappie and largemouth bass. Those are county-wide records, so not every one of them will be in this water. On this water that means starting tight and working out.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warmest month averages 81°F, the coldest about 37°F. The season runs year-round, with the peak either side of summer. Heat pushes fish deep from June onwards, so start early. Autumn steadies things again once the heat lets go. On this water the same rules apply, with local timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing we hold confirms whether access is permitted. Formal access is not mapped, so the last stretch is likely on foot. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Rules for this water may differ from the county norm. Signs go up and come down, so check on the day. The nearest alternative is Salt Creek Site 14 Reservoir, 0.7 miles out. Treat this water as unsettled until someone local tells you otherwise.
