Soil Conservation Service Site 25 Reservoir Fishing near Wortham, Texas

• Overview

It sits near the edge of the county, so check which rules apply.

• Where to Fish on Soil Conservation Service Site 25 Reservoir

  Our records carry no depth, so judge it from the bank. Draw-down through summer strips the margins, so follow the water out. A reservoir gives you a hard edge, a shelf, and not much else. Open occurrence data for the surrounding area lists bluegill, green sunfish, gizzard shad, largemouth bass and Rio Grande longear sunfish. Presence in the area does not guarantee a fish on the day. This water gives up more to patience than to distance.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The range across the year is 46°F to 84°F. Heat sets the pattern from late spring onward. Spring and autumn carry the fishing; summer squeezes it into the edges of the day. Autumn steadies things again once the heat lets go. This water runs to its own calendar within the local pattern.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. We find no slipway, car park or made path within a short radius, so treat access as rough. Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. Rules differ from one water to the next round here. Some stretches are reserved and marked as such on the ground. If the gate is shut, Soil Conservation Service Site 24 Reservoir at 1.3 miles is the nearest alternative. None of that is settled for this water in what we hold.
