• Where to Fish on Soil Conservation Service Site 19 Reservoir

  Depth is not on record here, so the bank has to tell you. The arms fish better than the open middle whenever the water is up. Look for where the old bank line still shows under the surface. Reported across Wheeler County: green sunfish, yellow bullhead and black bullhead. Read it as a county summary, not a water-by-water list. On this water that means starting tight and working out.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages here run 80°F at the top of summer and 35°F at the bottom of winter. Mild ends to the year keep the season long. It is not guaranteed even in a cold spell, so check yourself. June to September is hot work, so the first and last hours are what count. Anyone fishing this water regularly works to that calendar.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public data does not answer the access question here. It is recorded as intermittent, which means the basin empties in dry spells. Mapping is blank for access, so scout the approach before committing the car. State or provincial rules still apply whatever the bank status. Check whether bait restrictions apply before you buy any.
