• Where to Fish on Soil Conservation Service Site 100a Reservoir

  Our records carry no depth, so judge it from the bank. The arms fish better than the open middle whenever the water is up. Inflow corners move water, and moving water gathers fish. This water responds to conditions more than to tactics. First and last light beat anything in between.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Long-run averages give July about 84°F and January about 45°F. Winter is the comfortable season here rather than the difficult one. March through May is the strongest run, with autumn a second stretch. Autumn steadies things again once the heat lets go. This water runs to that rhythm year in and year out.

• Tackle & Baits

  The access position is unclear from public sources. Access is unmapped, which usually means a farm track and a walk. Parking is often the real limit rather than the bank itself. Fishing rules and camping rules are set separately here. Soil Conservation Service Site 98a Reservoir at 0.7 miles is the sensible second choice. Check the position on this water before loading the car.
