• Where to Fish on Bell Street Reservoir

  No depth figure appears in our records, so the bank has to tell you. Rip-rap along the wall holds fish that the open bank never does. A reservoir gives you a hard edge, a shelf, and not much else. Records collected within a few miles name channel catfish, bluegill and rainbow trout. Presence in the area does not guarantee a fish on the day. On Bell Street Reservoir the first feature you find is usually worth a session.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The seasonal spread runs 45°F to 83°F. Winter is a mild inconvenience here, nothing more. Shade and hour of day matter more than month. Autumn steadies things again once the heat lets go. Bell Street Reservoir runs to that rhythm year in and year out. Cloud cover is worth more than temperature on a bright week.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access is not recorded for this water. Mapping shows parking within half a mile. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Rules for this water may differ from the county norm. Fishing rules and camping rules are set separately here. For a change of water, Lake Nasworthy is 7 miles distant. Rules at Bell Street Reservoir are worth checking on the day.
