• Where to Fish on Salt Creek Site 16 Reservoir

  Depth remains unrecorded, so treat the first session as a survey. A reservoir gives you a hard edge, a shelf, and not much else. Look for where the old bank line still shows under the surface. County-wide records name bluegill, green sunfish, white crappie and largemouth bass. Records at county level tell you what is around, not what is stocked here. Read this water before you fish it and the day goes better.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Between January at about 38°F and July at about 82°F, the water has a wide range to work through. The awkward stretch is midsummer, not midwinter. Spring and autumn carry the fishing; summer squeezes it into the edges of the day. Autumn steadies things again once the heat lets go. On this water that shapes the whole year.

• Tackle & Baits

  The access position is unclear from public sources. 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. Ask in the nearest town if you are unsure. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. Salt Creek Site 15 Reservoir sits 0.8 miles off and takes the overflow. Confirm before you fish this water.
