Soil Conservation Service Site 24 Reservoir Fishing in Texas

• Overview

  Soil Conservation Service Site 24 Reservoir stands in McLennan County, Texas. The surface lies 614 feet up. At roughly 9 acres, the whole thing is within casting reach of a single walk. It is a small entry by McLennan County standards. Supplies mean a trip to Bruceville-Eddy, 3.4 miles off. After that come Lorena at 4.8 miles and Moody at 5.4 miles. No county line comes close, which keeps the paperwork simple.

• Where to Fish on Soil Conservation Service Site 24 Reservoir

  Depth is unmeasured here, so let the shoreline guide you. Look for where the old bank line still shows under the surface. Points where the flooded channel swings in are the reliable ones. Read this water before you fish it and the day goes better. The quiet end repays the extra walk.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Temperature averages peak at 84°F in July and bottom out at 46°F in January. Winter is the comfortable season here rather than the difficult one. Spring and autumn carry the fishing; summer squeezes it into the edges of the day. February into May fishes hardest as the water warms. That is the shape of the year on this water.

• Tackle & Baits

  We hold no note on access for this one. No launch point is recorded nearby, so this is a bank water unless you carry a boat in. Take the rules with you rather than trusting memory. Where the way in crosses private ground, ask first. For a change of water, Soil Conservation Service Site 22 Reservoir is 1 mile distant. Signs at this water carry more weight than any list.
