• Where to Fish on Soil Conservation Service Site 14 Reservoir

  No depth figure has reached our records, which makes a plummet useful. Draw-down through summer strips the margins, so follow the water out. Look for where the old bank line still shows under the surface. This water gives up its fish to patience rather than distance. Bright light pushes fish tight to whatever cover exists.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Average temperature peaks around 82°F in July and bottoms out near 44°F in January. Heat sets the pattern from late spring onward. Late winter and spring fish steadiest here. November and March are the quiet, comfortable months to be out. That is the shape of the year on this water.

• Tackle & Baits
