• Where to Fish on Soil Conservation Service Site 14a Reservoir

  Depth is not on record here, so the bank has to tell you. Inflow corners move water, and moving water gathers fish. Held water runs deepest at the wall and shallows back to the inflow. Biodiversity records within roughly six miles include bluegill, green sunfish and gizzard shad. The records cover the area rather than this water alone. Fish this water to its features, not to its size.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Long-run averages give July about 84°F and January about 45°F. Heat sets the pattern from late spring onward. Heat pushes fish deep from June onwards, so start early. Late winter often fishes better here than midsummer does. Expect this water to follow that timing. A settled spell fishes better than a bright one.
