• Where to Fish on Soil Conservation Service Site 20 Reservoir

  Depth is not on record here, so the bank has to tell you. Held water runs deepest at the wall and shallows back to the inflow. The old creek line under the surface is the feature worth finding. Nearby survey and observation records mention Florida largemouth bass, bluegill and black crappie. It reflects what has been logged, which depends on who was looking. Work this water in sections rather than trying to cover it.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warmest month averages 82°F, the coldest about 46°F. Fish stay active all year, but they move with the heat. October and November give a second good stretch as it cools. The hot months push the fishing to dawn and dusk. The season on this water rarely departs from it. Weed growth peaks in late summer and changes where you can fish.

• Tackle & Baits

  Our records carry no access rule either way. Nothing is mapped in the way of a ramp or car park within a short radius. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Where a permit is needed, the nearest town usually sells it. Fishing rules and camping rules are set separately here. Failing this one, try Ford Lake, 0.7 miles away. Treat access at this water as something to verify.
