• Seasonal Patterns

  The warm month here averages 84°F; the cold one sits at 46°F. Winter is the comfortable season here rather than the difficult one. Late winter and spring fish steadiest here. Spring and autumn carry the year; summer squeezes it into the ends of the day. Time your trip to this water by conditions rather than dates.

• Tackle & Baits

  We hold no note on access for this one. Nothing in the way of made access shows up nearby: no ramp, no car park, no path. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Look for a notice board at the entrance. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. If the gate is shut, Soil Conservation Service Site 23 Reservoir at 0.6 miles is the nearest alternative.
