• Where to Fish on Todd Spring Reservoir

  No published figure covers depth, so learn it as you fish. The old creek line under the surface is the feature worth finding. Standing timber shows when the level drops, and fish sit against it. Public occurrence data for Bedford County names bluegill, black crappie, yellow perch and brown bullhead. County records show the wider picture rather than this one place. Fish Todd Spring Reservoir where the bottom changes rather than where it looks deep.

• Seasonal Patterns

  July runs about 71°F on average, January about 26°F. The swings are modest, so patterns change slowly. In a normal year the cover is thin and short-lived. The cooler months are the comfortable ones to fish here. Todd Spring Reservoir fishes to that pattern most years. Long daylight spreads fish out; short daylight concentrates them.

• Tackle & Baits

  We hold no note on access for this one. A car park lies half a mile away, so the walk in is short. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. A phone call first saves an afternoon. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. John C Smith Reservoir at 0.9 miles is the sensible second choice. Check the position on Todd Spring Reservoir before loading the car.
