• Where to Fish on Soil Conservation Service Site 2 Reservoir

  Depth is not on record here, which means reading the ground instead. Draw-down through summer strips the margins, so follow the water out. Held water runs deepest at the wall and shallows back to the inflow. Open occurrence data for the surrounding area lists bluegill, freshwater drum, white crappie, largemouth bass and channel catfish. Check the state or provincial list before planning around one species. On this water a short move beats a long cast.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Between January at about 47°F and July at about 85°F, the water has a wide range to work through. Winter is a mild inconvenience here, nothing more. Heat pushes fish deep from June onwards, so start early. February into May fishes hardest as the water warms. This water fishes to that pattern most years.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing on record says whether the bank is open or closed. Nothing is listed nearby for parking or launching a boat. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. State or provincial rules still apply whatever the bank status. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car.
