Soil Conservation Service Site 25 Reservoir Fishing near Hutto, Texas

• Where to Fish on Soil Conservation Service Site 25 Reservoir

  No depth figure has reached our records, which makes a plummet useful. Look for where the old bank line still shows under the surface. Draw-down through summer strips the margins, so follow the water out. Biodiversity records within roughly six miles include Rio Grande longear sunfish, bigscale logperch, longear sunfish, Texas logperch and white bass. Local agencies keep the authoritative list for each water. Treat this water as a water to read rather than to cover.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Average temperature peaks around 84°F in August and bottoms out near 48°F in January. There is no frozen season to plan round. Late winter and spring fish steadiest here. February into May fishes hardest as the water warms. On this water that shapes the whole year. Wind direction changes which bank is worth fishing.

• Tackle & Baits

  There is no clear statement anywhere on who can fish it. We find no slipway, car park or made path within a short radius, so treat access as rough. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. State or provincial rules still apply whatever the bank status. Where the way in crosses private ground, ask first. City Lake, 4.3 miles away, makes the obvious fallback. None of that is settled for this water in what we hold.
