Soil Conservation Service Site 24 Reservoir Fishing near Lockhart, Texas

• Overview

  Caldwell County in Texas is where Soil Conservation Service Site 24 Reservoir sits. The surface lies 486 feet up. This is a pocket water of some 20 acres, and every part of it is reachable from the bank. The town to know is Lockhart, 8.1 miles out. Further out sit Uhland (16 miles) and Luling (16 miles). This one sits near enough to a boundary to be worth checking.

• Where to Fish on Soil Conservation Service Site 24 Reservoir

  Depth figures are not published for this one. Held water runs deepest at the wall and shallows back to the inflow. Draw-down through summer strips the margins, so follow the water out. The shape of this water decides where the fish sit. Look for colour changes in the water and fish the seam between them.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Typical August readings run about 84°F; by January the average is down near 49°F. Cold never shuts this water down; heat is the only limit. Season rules are a separate question. Spring and autumn carry the fishing; summer squeezes it into the edges of the day. April and May are the settled weeks, with October close behind. That shapes the year on this water.

• Tackle & Baits

  There is no clear statement anywhere on who can fish it. Mapping shows no built access close by; expect to walk in from wherever you can leave the car. Parking is often the real limit rather than the bank itself. Where the way in crosses private ground, ask first. Soil Conservation Service Site 26 Reservoir sits 2.7 miles off and takes the overflow. None of that is settled for this water in what we hold.
