• Where to Fish on Soil Conservation Service Site 121 Reservoir

  Depth went unrecorded, which puts the reading back on you. A reservoir gives you a hard edge, a shelf, and not much else. Draw-down through summer strips the margins, so follow the water out. At this water light and wind decide more than tackle does. The old creek line under the surface is the feature worth finding.

• Seasonal Patterns

  July runs about 84°F on average, January about 45°F. The year never really closes; it just gets uncomfortable in summer. March through May is the strongest run, with autumn a second stretch. November and March are the quiet, comfortable months to be out. Time your trip to this water by conditions rather than dates.

• Tackle & Baits

  The paperwork position is blank for this one. No car park, ramp or path is recorded within easy reach of the shore. Gates get locked out of season on water like this. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. Soil Conservation Service Site 120 Reservoir, 1.1 miles away, makes the obvious fallback. Nothing here settles the position at this water for certain.
