A mixed sky through the night, with an easy breeze from the NE and the barometer holding steady. Give the backs of creeks if water is moving in the first hour at Soil Conservation Service Site 3 Reservoir. Expect the better fishing from the day. Give the likely spots time before moving. Cooler water spreads fish back across the shallows.
The bites are excellent now
Night
Soil Conservation Service Site 3 Reservoir falls in Hill County, part of Texas. Everything around it is oak and grass. Roughly 48 acres: a morning covers one end, an afternoon the other. It ranks high for size among our Hill County listings. For supplies, Hubbard is 3.9 miles out. The nearest city of size is Waco, 27 miles away. The boundary is near enough that local access rules are worth double-checking.
We hold no depth figure for this one. Rip-rap along the wall holds fish that the open bank never does. The old creek line under the surface is the feature worth finding. Public wildlife records from this area list Florida largemouth bass. Local agencies keep the authoritative list for each water. Anyone new to this water should walk it once before setting up.
Average temperature peaks around 84°F in July and bottoms out near 45°F in January. Heat sets the pattern from late spring onward. The first and last hours carry the summer; the middle is slow. February into May fishes hardest as the water warms. Anyone fishing this water regularly works to that calendar.
We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. No car park, ramp or path is recorded within easy reach of the shore. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Gates get locked out of season on water like this. Night access is frequently treated as a separate matter. Soil Conservation Service Site 2 Reservoir, 1.2 miles away, makes the obvious fallback. Nothing here settles the position at this water for certain.
