• Where to Fish on Soil Conservation Service Site 13 Reservoir

  Depth is not on record here, so the bank has to tell you. Inflow corners move water, and moving water gathers fish. Draw-down through summer strips the margins, so follow the water out. The shape of this water rewards a slow walk along one bank. If bites stop, change depth before you change everything else.

• Seasonal Patterns

  July runs about 84°F on average, January about 42°F. Temperatures stay workable through the cold season. March through May is the strongest run, with autumn a second stretch. February into May fishes hardest as the water warms. Expect this water to follow that timing. After a storm, the water clears from the edges inwards.
