Soil Conservation Service Site 10 Reservoir Fishing near Giddings, Texas

• Overview

  Texas holds Soil Conservation Service Site 10 Reservoir, in Fayette County. Beyond the shoreline you have warm green lowland. Around 109 acres of surface means several distinct areas to work. 13 miles away sits Giddings, the nearest town. Then La Grange, 13 miles, and Brenham, 23 miles. The nearest boundary is well away, so one set of rules covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Soil Conservation Service Site 10 Reservoir

  The records we hold are silent on depth, so plan to find it yourself. The arms fish better than the open middle whenever the water is up. Look for where the old bank line still shows under the surface. Records collected within a few miles name rainbow trout, largemouth bass, striped bass and brown trout. Take it as evidence of what swims here, not a promise for one session. Read this water for ten minutes before the first cast goes out.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Typical August readings run about 84°F; by January the average is down near 50°F. There is no dead season here at all. March through May is the strongest run, with autumn a second stretch. Autumn steadies things again once the heat lets go. Anyone fishing this water regularly works to that calendar.

• Tackle & Baits

  The access position is unclear from public sources. Mapping shows no built access close by; expect to walk in from wherever you can leave the car. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Take the rules with you rather than trusting memory. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. Soil Conservation Service Site 7 Reservoir, 5.2 miles away, makes the obvious fallback. Confirm before you fish this water.
