• Where to Fish on Soil Conservation Service Site 2 Reservoir

  The records we hold are silent on depth, so plan to find it yourself. Inflow corners move water, and moving water gathers fish. Draw-down through summer strips the margins, so follow the water out. Read this water for ten minutes before the first cast goes out. Where the bottom hardens, expect the fish to be holding.

• Seasonal Patterns

  July is the warm end of the year here, averaging about 82°F, while January sits near 45°F. Winter is the comfortable season here rather than the difficult one. The first and last hours carry the summer; the middle is slow. The hot months push the fishing to dawn and dusk. Anyone fishing this water regularly works to that calendar.

• Tackle & Baits

  No access rule appears in what we hold. We find no slipway, car park or made path within a short radius, so treat access as rough. State or provincial rules still apply whatever the bank status. Fishing rules and camping rules are set separately here. Soil Conservation Service Site 3 Reservoir sits 1.9 miles off and takes the overflow. Confirm before you fish this water.
