• Where to Fish on Soil Conservation Service Site 1 Reservoir

  Open data we checked carries no depth for this water. Look for where the old bank line still shows under the surface. Rip-rap along the wall holds fish that the open bank never does. Open occurrence data for the surrounding area lists Alligator gar. Some of the species recorded here are protected or tightly regulated, so check what may be targeted before you fish. Fish this water to its features, not to its size.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate normals give 84°F for July and 44°F for January. Long warm spells define the calendar more than any cold. March through May is the strongest run, with autumn a second stretch. Spring and autumn carry the year; summer squeezes it into the ends of the day. Anyone fishing this water regularly works to that calendar.

• Tackle & Baits

  Who may fish here is not settled in anything we hold. Nothing formal is recorded here: no ramp, no car park, no marked path. One rod, a handful of hooks and floats, and a few small lures are enough for this water. Where a permit is needed, the nearest town usually sells it. Fishing rules and camping rules are set separately here. If the gate is shut, Hugghins Lake at 1 mile is the nearest alternative. Treat access at this water as something to verify.
