• Where to Fish on Soil Conservation Service Site 32 Reservoir

  Depth went unrecorded, which puts the reading back on you. The arms fish better than the open middle whenever the water is up. Draw-down through summer strips the margins, so follow the water out. Public wildlife records from this area list bluegill, longnose gar and golden shiner. Local agencies hold the definitive list for this water. At this water the water rewards a slow, careful approach.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July near 84°F and January near 44°F on the long-run figures. Summer heat is the limit here, not winter cold. Spring and autumn carry the fishing; summer squeezes it into the edges of the day. The cooler months are the comfortable ones to fish here. At this water the season follows that pattern closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  Ownership and access are not documented in what we hold. No car park, ramp or path is recorded within easy reach of the shore. For the panfish, a small hook, a float and a piece of worm outfish everything fancy. Take the rules with you rather than trusting memory. Some ground is open by custom rather than by right, so tread carefully. The nearest alternative is Lateral Site Number Two, 2.9 miles out. Check the current arrangement for this water.
