• Where to Fish on Soil Conservation Service Site 4 Reservoir

  Depth is unknown to us, and the shoreline is the better guide. Draw-down through summer strips the margins, so follow the water out. Look for where the old bank line still shows under the surface. Fish reported in the area, according to open records, include bluegill, Rio Grande longear sunfish and redbreast sunfish. Records show what people reported, not what is stocked. At this water the water rewards a slow, careful approach.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate records put July near 83°F and January near 47°F. Winter is a mild inconvenience here, nothing more. The cooler months are the comfortable ones to be out. November and March are the quiet, comfortable months to be out. Time your trip to this water by conditions rather than dates.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether the bank is open is not something our records settle. A car park lies half a mile away, so the walk in is short. Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. Ask in the nearest town if you are unsure. Night access is frequently treated as a separate matter. Failing this one, try Soil Conservation Service Site 3 Reservoir, 1.7 miles away. Nothing on this water should be assumed from this page alone.
