• Overview

  Within Navarro County, Texas, you have Soil Conservation Service Site 1 Reservoir. The surface lies 387 feet up. It runs to roughly 25 acres — big enough to hold fish away from the bank, small enough to learn. Start from Ennis, 9.3 miles down the road. Corsicana follows at 12 miles, then Palmer at 15 miles. A border sits close enough to be relevant to the paperwork.

• Where to Fish on Soil Conservation Service Site 1 Reservoir

  Open data we checked carries no depth for this water. Draw-down through summer strips the margins, so follow the water out. Built water gives depth close in, which suits a bank angler. Species logged nearby in open biodiversity records include redear sunfish, blue catfish, bluegill and green sunfish. Presence in the area does not guarantee a fish on the day. This water fishes better once you know its edges.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The range across the year is 45°F to 84°F. Cooler months are the productive ones on most of this water. Shade and hour of day matter more than month. February into May fishes hardest as the water warms. It holds true on this water more years than not. A cold snap sets things back for several days.

• Tackle & Baits

  No public source sets out the position on this bank. No car park, ramp or path is recorded within easy reach of the shore. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. State or provincial rules still apply whatever the bank status. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. If the gate is shut, Soil Conservation Service Site 2 Reservoir at 0.9 miles is the nearest alternative. For this water, the notice at the access point is the final word.
