Soil Conservation Service Site 13a Reservoir Fishing in Texas

• Overview

  Set in Williamson County, Texas, this is Soil Conservation Service Site 13a Reservoir. Elevation runs to 840 feet. Around 29 acres of surface means several distinct areas to work. For supplies, Brushy Creek is 2 miles out. Further out sit Cedar Park (4.7 miles) and Round Rock (4.8 miles). A county line runs close by, so local bylaws can differ within a short drive.

• Where to Fish on Soil Conservation Service Site 13a Reservoir

  Depth is unmeasured here, so let the shoreline guide you. Draw-down through summer strips the margins, so follow the water out. The old creek line under the surface is the feature worth finding. Public wildlife records from this area list bluegill, Rio Grande longear sunfish and redbreast sunfish. Local agencies keep the authoritative list for each water. At this water light and wind decide more than tackle does.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate records put July near 83°F and January near 47°F. The surface stays open the year round. The first and last hours carry the summer; the middle is slow. November and March are the quiet, comfortable months to be out. Expect this water to follow that timing. Autumn cools the shallows first, so work deeper as it goes on.

• Tackle & Baits

  We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. Access points are not mapped for this water, which suits people who like quiet. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Season dates differ by species, so read the table. Where the way in crosses private ground, ask first. Soil Conservation Service Site 4 Reservoir sits 2.5 miles off and takes the overflow. What applies at this water may have changed since it was mapped.
