• Where to Fish on Woldridge Reservoir

  The records we hold are silent on depth, so plan to find it yourself. Points where the flooded channel swings in are the reliable ones. Look for where the old bank line still shows under the surface. Open biodiversity records for Custer County list largemouth bass, channel catfish, green sunfish, bluegill and Rio Grande longear sunfish. These are county-wide records, so not all of them will be in this water. At Woldridge Reservoir the water rewards a slow, careful approach.

• Seasonal Patterns

  On the long-term average, July reads 82°F and January reads 35°F. A long season, with weather mattering more than the month. Some winters give nothing at all, so plan for open water. November and March are the quiet, comfortable months to be out. Anyone fishing Woldridge Reservoir regularly works to that calendar.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing we hold confirms whether access is permitted. Formal access is not mapped, so the last stretch is likely on foot. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Bank access can be seasonal on ground like this. Some ground is open by custom rather than by right, so tread carefully. The nearest alternative is Woldridge Reservoir, 0.2 miles out. What applies at Woldridge Reservoir may have changed since it was mapped.
