Fish Bevelport Reservoir to its features, not to its size.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Between January at about 47°F and July at about 82°F, the water has a wide range to work through. Heat sets the pattern from late spring onward. The cooler months are the comfortable ones to be out. April and May are the settled weeks, with October close behind. Bevelport Reservoir runs to that rhythm year in and year out.

• Tackle & Baits

  No access rule appears in what we hold. There is no mapped parking or launch close by, which usually means walking in. A wire trace and a big bright lure handle the pike; deep water asks for a heavier spoon. Rules differ from one water to the next round here. Close seasons apply to some species and not others. Shelby Lake, 0.9 miles away, makes the obvious fallback. Nothing on Bevelport Reservoir should be assumed from this page alone.
