• Where to Fish on Soil Conservation Service Site 10 Reservoir

  Depth figures are not published for this one. The arms fish better than the open middle whenever the water is up. Rip-rap along the wall holds fish that the open bank never does. Nearby survey and observation records mention redbreast sunfish, Rio Grande longear sunfish, bluegill, green sunfish and redear sunfish. The list reflects reported sightings and surveys rather than what is stocked. On this water that means starting tight and working out.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate normals give 84°F for August and 49°F for January. Heat, not cold, decides when to be on the water. Shade and hour of day matter more than month. November and March are the quiet, comfortable months to be out. The season on this water follows the weather closely. A rising level usually fishes better than a falling one.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access status is simply unknown for this water. You will be walking about 0.9 miles from the nearest car park. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. A landowner's word beats anything printed elsewhere. Signs go up and come down, so check on the day. The nearest alternative is Heep Lake, 2.9 miles out. Confirm before you fish this water.
