• Where to Fish on Soil Conservation Service Site 11g Reservoir

  Depth went unrecorded, which puts the reading back on you. Rip-rap along the wall holds fish that the open bank never does. Draw-down through summer strips the margins, so follow the water out. Open occurrence data for the surrounding area lists bluegill, green sunfish, Rio Grande longear sunfish and channel catfish. It reflects what has been logged, which depends on who was looking. This water responds to conditions more than to tactics.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Temperature averages peak at 84°F in July and bottom out at 44°F in January. Warm months push fish deep; cool months bring them back. Heat pushes fish deep from June onwards, so start early. June to September is hot work, so the first and last hours are what count. This water fishes to that pattern most years.

• Tackle & Baits
