Soil Conservation Service Site 22 Reservoir Fishing near Thorndale, Texas

• Overview

  Soil Conservation Service Site 22 Reservoir sits in Milam County, out in Texas. The setting is warm bottomland. At roughly 24 acres, the whole thing is within casting reach of a single walk. Some 5.1 miles away sits Thorndale, the nearest settlement. Taylor is 11 miles away, with Lexington at 15 miles. A county line runs close by, so local bylaws can differ within a short drive.

• Where to Fish on Soil Conservation Service Site 22 Reservoir

  No depth figure appears in our records, so the bank has to tell you. Standing timber shows when the level drops, and fish sit against it. Inflow corners move water, and moving water gathers fish. On this water the first feature you find is usually worth a session. Built water gives depth close in, which suits a bank angler.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warmest month averages 84°F, the coldest about 48°F. The season is continuous, with heat as the only real check. Spring and autumn carry the fishing; summer squeezes it into the edges of the day. Late winter often fishes better here than midsummer does. On this water that shapes the whole year.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing we hold confirms whether access is permitted. No slipway, car park or made path shows up nearby in mapping, so treat access as rough. Where the road in crosses private land, ask first. Check whether bait restrictions apply before you buy any. The nearest alternative is Soil Conservation Service Site 21 Reservoir, 0.7 miles out. None of that is settled for this water in what we hold.
