• Where to Fish on Lomoha Reservoir

  Without a survey to go on, judge depth from how the bank falls away. The arms fish better than the open middle whenever the water is up. Draw-down through summer strips the margins, so follow the water out. Public occurrence data for Jackson County names rainbow trout, black crappie and largemouth bass. Some of the species recorded here are protected or tightly regulated, so check what may be targeted before you fish. At Lomoha Reservoir the first feature you find is worth twenty minutes.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Average temperature peaks around 72°F in July and bottoms out near 39°F in December. No part of the year shuts this water. Spring and autumn carry the fishing; summer squeezes it into the edges of the day. Late winter often fishes better here than midsummer does.

• Tackle & Baits

  Who may fish here is not settled in anything we hold. The car has to stay half a mile away, which shapes how much tackle you bring. Facilities run to toilets half a mile from the water. The water sits inside or beside a mapped nature reserve, so expect additional rules. Parking space is the usual limit rather than the bank itself. Fishing rules and camping rules are set separately here. Should this one be busy, Lester James Reservoir Number 3 is 0.7 miles off. Confirm access to Lomoha Reservoir locally before you travel.
