Soil Conservation Service Site 12 Reservoir Fishing in Jack County, Texas

• Overview

  This water sits in Jack County, Texas. It stands 942 feet above sea level. The water measures roughly 14 acres, so nothing here is far from anything else. Start from Jacksboro, 10 miles down the road. Runaway Bay lies 12 miles off, Chico another 12 miles. The nearest boundary is well away, so one set of rules covers the water. The approach is plain, and a car park is not always part of it.

• Where to Fish on Soil Conservation Service Site 12 Reservoir

  We hold no depth figure for this one. Built water gives depth close in, which suits a bank angler. Inflow corners move water, and moving water gathers fish. Fish reported in the area, according to open records, include blue catfish and white bass. Reporting is uneven, so absence from the list means little. Work this water in sections rather than trying to cover it.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages move between 42°F in January and 84°F in July. Cold never closes this one. October and November give a second good stretch as it cools. The hot months push the fishing to dawn and dusk. This water fishes to that pattern most years. Warm rain lifts activity; cold rain flattens it.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing on record says whether the bank is open or closed. There is no recorded infrastructure here; expect to find your own way in. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Season dates differ by species, so read the table. Where parking is tight, arriving early solves most problems. For a change of water, Soil Conservation Service Site 11 Reservoir is 1.6 miles distant.
