• Where to Fish on Soil Conservation Service Site 21 Reservoir

  Depth here is unknown, so count the lead down before committing. The old creek line under the surface is the feature worth finding. Rip-rap along the wall holds fish that the open bank never does. On this water that means starting tight and working out. A steady ripple beats flat calm on most days.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Average temperature peaks around 84°F in July and bottoms out near 42°F in January. Winter is the comfortable season here rather than the difficult one. March through May is the strongest run, with autumn a second stretch. The cooler months are the comfortable ones to fish here. Plan around that when you fish this water.
