• Where to Fish on Soil Conservation Service Site 19 Reservoir

  Nothing in our records gives a depth for this one. Points where the flooded channel swings in are the reliable ones. Held water runs deepest at the wall and shallows back to the inflow. Take this water a stretch at a time. A boat opens water the bank never reaches, but is not needed.

• Seasonal Patterns

  On the long-term average, July reads 82°F and January reads 45°F. The awkward stretch is midsummer, not midwinter. Heat pushes fish deep from June onwards, so start early. The cooler months are the comfortable ones to fish here. On this water the same rules apply, with local timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether you may fish here is not something records settle. This one is mapped as intermittent, so a wasted trip is a real risk in a dry year. No car park, ramp or path is recorded within easy reach of the shore. State or provincial rules still apply whatever the bank status. Fishing rules and camping rules are set separately here. Soil Conservation Service Site 18a Reservoir, 2 miles away, makes the obvious fallback. Treat this water as unsettled until someone local tells you otherwise.
