Soil Conservation Service Site 23 Reservoir Fishing near Wortham, Texas

• Overview

  Soil Conservation Service Site 23 Reservoir lies within the bounds of Limestone County, Texas. The land about it is pine and hardwood. About 16 acres of surface, which puts the far bank inside easy sight. Our Limestone County list holds plenty of bigger water. Wortham sits 6.8 miles from the bank. Beyond it, Mexia at 7.8 miles and Hubbard at 14 miles. The boundary is near enough that local access rules are worth double-checking.

• Where to Fish on Soil Conservation Service Site 23 Reservoir

  Depth remains unrecorded, so treat the first session as a survey. A reservoir gives you a hard edge, a shelf, and not much else. Standing timber shows when the level drops, and fish sit against it. Nearby survey and observation records mention bluegill, green sunfish and gizzard shad. Check the state or provincial list before planning around one species. This water responds to conditions more than to tactics.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Typical July readings run about 84°F; by January the average is down near 46°F. Summer heat is the limit here, not winter cold. The first and last hours carry the summer; the middle is slow. March through May is the strongest run, with October and November a second stretch. It holds true on this water more years than not.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing we hold confirms whether access is permitted. Mapping shows no built access close by; expect to walk in from wherever you can leave the car. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Parking is often the real limit rather than the bank itself. Check whether bait restrictions apply before you buy any. Should this one be busy, Soil Conservation Service Site 24 Reservoir is 0.6 miles off. Where this water is concerned, a local answer beats a written one.
