• Where to Fish on Soil Conservation Service Site 2a Reservoir

  Depth here is unknown, so count the lead down before committing. A reservoir gives you a hard edge, a shelf, and not much else. Held water runs deepest at the wall and shallows back to the inflow. On this water the quiet end is the one worth the extra effort. Rip-rap along the wall holds fish that the open bank never does.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The year swings from about 43°F in January to roughly 82°F in July. Warm months push fish deep; cool months bring them back. March through May is the strongest run, with autumn a second stretch. April and May are the settled weeks, with October close behind. At this water the season follows that pattern closely.
