Heavy overcast holding through the day, with a kind NE breeze on the water with the glass on the way up. Expect most activity at Soil Conservation Service Site 5 Reservoir around shelves near deep water. Plan around the stretch from the day. Keep moving until you find them. Shortening days concentrate the feeding into fewer hours.
The bites are excellent now
Night
Soil Conservation Service Site 5 Reservoir stands in Limestone County, Texas. Country round the bank runs to oak and grass. At 9 acres it is the sort of place you fish for an evening rather than a day. It is one of the smaller waters we list in Limestone County. Some 5.4 miles away sits Hubbard, the nearest settlement. The nearest city of size is Waco, 29 miles away. The county edge is within a short distance of the bank.
There is no recorded depth, so work from what you can see. Levels move with the draw rather than the rain on water like this. Standing timber shows when the level drops, and fish sit against it. Take this water a stretch at a time. If bites stop, change depth before you change everything else.
The range across the year is 45°F to 84°F. Cooler months are the productive ones on most of this water. Heat pushes fish deep from June onwards, so start early. Autumn steadies things again once the heat lets go. On this water that shapes the whole year. Falling water concentrates fish into the deeper parts.
We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. There is no mapped parking or launch nearby, which keeps numbers down. Local rules can differ across the county line, so check where you stand. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. For a change of water, Soil Conservation Service Site 4a Reservoir is 0.4 miles distant. For this water, the notice at the access point is the final word.
