• Where to Fish on Soil Conservation Service Site 29 Reservoir

  Depth is not on record here, which means reading the ground instead. Draw-down through summer strips the margins, so follow the water out. The old creek line under the surface is the feature worth finding. Fish reported in the area, according to open records, include green sunfish and red shiner. Records show what people reported, so treat the list as a guide to what lives in the area. Take this water a stretch at a time.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Long-term averages put July at about 84°F and January near 46°F. Winter here means light layers, not lost months. March through May is the strongest run, with autumn a second stretch. The cooler months are the comfortable ones to fish here. Expect this water to follow that timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. Nothing built is recorded close to the bank here. For the panfish, a small hook, a float and a piece of worm outfish everything fancy. Season dates differ by species, so read the table. Where the way in crosses private ground, ask first. The nearest alternative is Butler Lake, 1.1 miles out. None of that is settled for this water in what we hold.
