• Where to Fish on Soil Conservation Service Site 2 Reservoir

Nearby survey and observation records mention plains darter, black bullhead, bluegill and common carp. Reported species tell you what lives around here, nothing more. The shape of this water decides where the fish sit.

• Seasonal Patterns

  July is the warm end of the year here, averaging about 83°F, while January sits near 44°F. Winter here means light layers, not lost months. The first and last hours carry the summer; the middle is slow. February into May fishes hardest as the water warms. At this water the season follows that pattern closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  No access rule appears in what we hold. A carry of half a mile from the nearest parking is the price of fishing here. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Where the road in crosses private land, ask first. A polite question at the farm gate opens more banks than anything else. Soil Conservation Service Site 3 Reservoir sits 0.6 miles off and takes the overflow.
