• Where to Fish on Soil Conservation Service Site 2 Reservoir

  Our records hold no depth for this water. Rip-rap along the wall holds fish that the open bank never does. Draw-down through summer strips the margins, so follow the water out. Nearby survey and observation records mention Florida largemouth bass, green sunfish, largemouth bass, channel catfish and bluegill. That is what has been logged nearby, not a stocking list, so check local rules before you plan around any one species. At this water light and wind decide more than tackle does.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Seasonal averages run from 44°F in January up to 82°F in July. The season runs year-round, with the peak either side of summer. March through May is the strongest run, with autumn a second stretch. April and May are the settled weeks, with October close behind. That is the shape of the year on this water.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public sources are silent on who controls the bank. No made access appears within a short radius, so plan to park on a verge and walk. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Bank access can be seasonal on ground like this. Close seasons apply to some species and not others. If the gate is shut, Soil Conservation Service Site 3 Reservoir at 3.2 miles is the nearest alternative. Check the position on this water before loading the car.
