• Where to Fish on Soil Conservation Service Site 4 Reservoir

  Depth remains unrecorded, so treat the first session as a survey. Levels move with the draw rather than the rain on water like this. Rip-rap along the wall holds fish that the open bank never does. Public wildlife records from this area list largemouth bass, longnose gar, green sunfish, striped bass and white bass. The records cover the area rather than this water alone. This water repays a walk before the first cast.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Average temperature peaks around 82°F in July and bottoms out near 44°F in January. Warm months push fish deep; cool months bring them back. The first and last hours carry the summer; the middle is slow. June to September is hot work, so the first and last hours are what count. That shapes the year on this water.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether you may fish here is not something records settle. No built facilities appear in mapping around this water. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass.
