• Where to Fish on Soil Conservation Service Site 138 Reservoir

  No chart reached our records; the first cast is your sounding. Held water runs deepest at the wall and shallows back to the inflow. Inflow corners move water, and moving water gathers fish. On this water the quiet end is the one worth the extra effort. Standing timber shows when the level drops, and fish sit against it.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate records put July near 84°F and January near 45°F. It fishes twelve months of the year. Heat pushes fish deep from June onwards, so start early. April and May are the settled weeks, with October close behind. Expect this water to follow that timing. Sudden cold puts fish down faster than sustained cold does.
