• Where to Fish on Soil Conservation Service Site 2 Reservoir

  Our records carry no depth, so judge it from the bank. Draw-down through summer strips the margins, so follow the water out. The arms fish better than the open middle whenever the water is up. Biodiversity records within roughly six miles include bluegill, largemouth bass and Rio Grande longear sunfish. Use it to know what is possible here, not what is certain. On this water the quiet end is the one worth the extra effort.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The range across the year is 47°F to 83°F. Summer heat is the limit here, not winter cold. The cooler months are the comfortable ones to be out. November and March are the quiet, comfortable months to be out. That is the shape of the year on this water. The hour either side of first light is rarely wasted.

• Tackle & Baits

  We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. Parking is mapped about half a mile from the bank. Fishing from a pier is possible 100 yards away. Facilities include toilets around half a mile from here. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. A phone call first saves an afternoon. Check whether bait restrictions apply before you buy any. Soil Conservation Service Site 1 Reservoir at 2.5 miles is the sensible second choice. None of that is settled for this water in what we hold.
