November and March are the quiet, comfortable months to be out. At Fidel Brothers Irrigation Reservoir the season follows that pattern closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether you may fish here is not something records settle. Mapping shows an empty shoreline: no ramp, no jetty, no marked entry. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Check whether a boat is allowed before you tow one. Some stretches are reserved and marked as such on the ground. The nearest alternative is Beltview Reservoir, 1.9 miles out.
