• Where to Fish on Soil Conservation Service Site 140 Reservoir

  Depth remains unrecorded, so treat the first session as a survey. Draw-down through summer strips the margins, so follow the water out. Standing timber shows when the level drops, and fish sit against it. Anyone new to this water should walk it once before setting up. The wettest month is May in a year that averages 38 inches.

• Seasonal Patterns

  July is the warm end of the year here, averaging about 84°F, while January sits near 45°F. The surface stays open the year round. The first and last hours carry the summer; the middle is slow. April and May are the settled weeks, with October close behind. Expect this water to follow that timing.

• Tackle & Baits
