• Where to Fish on Salt Creek Site 9 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. The old creek line under the surface is the feature worth finding. Reported across Pottawatomie County: bluegill, green sunfish, white crappie, largemouth bass and channel catfish. These are county-wide records, so not all of them will be in this water. On this water a short move beats a long cast.
