• Where to Fish on Soil Conservation Service Site 1 Reservoir

  Depth is not on record here, so the bank has to tell you. The old creek line under the surface is the feature worth finding. Rip-rap along the wall holds fish that the open bank never does. Public wildlife records from this area list bluegill, green sunfish, largemouth bass, channel catfish and Rio Grande longear sunfish. That is what has been logged nearby, not a stocking list, so check local rules before you plan around any one species. On this water the first feature you find is usually worth a session.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July to average close to 84°F, with January the cold end at about 50°F. Warm water year-round keeps fish moving through every month. Late winter and spring fish steadiest here. Autumn steadies things again once the heat lets go. Anyone fishing this water regularly works to that calendar.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public sources are silent on who controls the bank. There is a car park half a mile from the bank. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. A phone call first saves an afternoon. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. For a change of water, Soil Conservation Service Site 6-A Reservoir is 2.2 miles distant. Treat this water as unsettled until someone local tells you otherwise.
