• Where to Fish on Soil Conservation Service Site 124a-1 Reservoir

  We hold no survey for this water; read the slope of the shoreline instead. The old creek line under the surface is the feature worth finding. Built water gives depth close in, which suits a bank angler. Open occurrence data for the surrounding area lists dusky darter, Rio Grande longear sunfish and channel catfish. The records cover the area rather than this water alone. Work this water in sections rather than trying to cover it.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages here run 84°F at the top of summer and 45°F at the bottom of winter. Winter here means light layers, not lost months. Shade and hour of day matter more than month. June to September is hot work, so the first and last hours are what count. That shapes the year on this water.

• Tackle & Baits

  Who may fish here is not settled in anything we hold. Access is unmapped, which usually means a farm track and a walk. For the catfish, fish bottom baits into the deeper holes and let them sit. Sort the permit out before you load the car. Night access is frequently treated as a separate matter. The nearest alternative is Reservoir Number One Hundred Twentyfour, 1.9 miles out. None of that is settled for this water in what we hold.
