• Where to Fish on Reservoir Number 1

  Depth is not on record here, so the bank has to tell you. Rip-rap along the wall holds fish that the open bank never does. Inflow corners move water, and moving water gathers fish. This water responds to conditions more than to tactics. Look for where the old bank line still shows under the surface.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Long-run averages give July about 84°F and January about 56°F. Every month fishes, though midsummer narrows the useful hours. Late winter and spring fish steadiest here. June to September is hot work, so the first and last hours are what count. On this water that shapes the whole year.

• Tackle & Baits

  We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. Mapping shows an empty shoreline: no ramp, no jetty, no marked entry. Sort the permit out before you load the car. Signs go up and come down, so check on the day. McGill Lake at 4.3 miles is the sensible second choice. Nothing on this water should be assumed from this page alone.
