• Where to Fish on Soil Conservation Service Site 39 Reservoir

  The records we hold are silent on depth, so plan to find it yourself. Held water runs deepest at the wall and shallows back to the inflow. Standing timber shows when the level drops, and fish sit against it. Work this water in sections rather than trying to cover it. The far bank looks better because you cannot see the snags.

• Seasonal Patterns

  In an average year July sits at 84°F and January at 45°F. Long warm spells define the calendar more than any cold. March through May is the strongest run, with autumn a second stretch. Autumn steadies things again once the heat lets go. This water fishes to that pattern most years.
