• Where to Fish on Salt Creek Site 38 Reservoir

  There is no published depth for this one, so start shallow and work out. A reservoir gives you a hard edge, a shelf, and not much else. Built water gives depth close in, which suits a bank angler. Reported across Pottawatomie County: bluegill, green sunfish, white crappie, largemouth bass and channel catfish. Those are county-wide records, so not every one of them will be in this water. Fish this water to its features, not to its size.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The seasonal spread runs 38°F to 82°F. Winter here means light layers, not lost months. Shade and hour of day matter more than month. The hot months push the fishing to dawn and dusk. That is the shape of the year on this water. Water temperature lags behind air temperature by days, not hours.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing we hold confirms whether access is permitted. Nothing is listed nearby for parking or launching a boat. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Read any posted signs at the access point rather than assuming. Where the way in crosses private ground, ask first. For a change of water, Salt Creek Site 39 Reservoir is 0.5 miles distant. What applies at this water may have changed since it was mapped.
