• Seasonal Patterns

  Average temperature peaks around 82°F in July and bottoms out near 38°F in January. The season runs year-round, with the peak either side of summer. Late winter and spring fish steadiest here. Spring and autumn carry the year; summer squeezes it into the ends of the day. At this water the season follows that pattern closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. Formal access is not mapped, so the last stretch is likely on foot. Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. Some banks are open only from a marked point. Rules for boats are stricter than rules for the bank in many places. The nearest alternative is Sandy Creek Site 32 Reservoir, 1.3 miles out. Confirm before you fish this water.
