Soil Conservation Service Site 121c Reservoir Fishing near Ennis, Texas

• Overview

  The Ellis County entry here is Soil Conservation Service Site 121c Reservoir, in Texas. The bank gives way to oak and grass. About 18 acres of surface, which puts the far bank inside easy sight. Head to Ennis, 7.8 miles away, for anything you forgot. Mesquite is the closest city, 37 miles away. A county boundary sits nearby, which can matter for local access rules.

• Where to Fish on Soil Conservation Service Site 121c Reservoir

  Depth is not on record here, so the bank has to tell you. Built water gives depth close in, which suits a bank angler. The arms fish better than the open middle whenever the water is up. Open occurrence data for the surrounding area lists green sunfish, slough darter and bullhead minnow. That is what has been logged nearby, not a stocking list, so check local rules before you plan around any one species. On this water the quiet end is the one worth the extra effort.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages here run 84°F at the top of summer and 45°F at the bottom of winter. Winter is the comfortable season here rather than the difficult one. Late winter and spring fish steadiest here. Autumn steadies things again once the heat lets go. Expect this water to follow that timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public data does not answer the access question here. Nothing in the way of made access shows up nearby: no ramp, no car park, no path. For the catfish, fish bottom baits into the deeper holes and let them sit. Check locally before you travel, because a wasted drive is a long one. Night access is frequently treated as a separate matter. For a change of water, Soil Conservation Service Site 121d1 Reservoir is 0.7 miles distant. None of that is settled for this water in what we hold.
