Soil Conservation Service Site 53 Reservoir Fishing in Hill County, Texas

• Overview

  Look for Soil Conservation Service Site 53 Reservoir in the Hill County part of Texas. The ground round it is open plain. Small at around 7 acres: two anglers spread out cover most of it. It is a small entry by Hill County standards. You are 7.1 miles from Plum Grove. Waco sits 39 miles out, and it is the nearest city worth the name. The boundary is close enough to be worth checking before you fish.

• Where to Fish on Soil Conservation Service Site 53 Reservoir

  No depth figure appears in our records, so the bank has to tell you. The old creek line under the surface is the feature worth finding. Standing timber shows when the level drops, and fish sit against it. This water gives up more to patience than to distance. A boat opens water the bank never reaches, but is not needed.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate normals give 84°F for July and 45°F for January. No part of the year shuts this water. Spring and autumn carry the fishing; summer squeezes it into the edges of the day. April and May are the settled weeks, with October close behind. Plan around that when you fish this water.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether the bank is open is not something our records settle. We find no slipway, car park or made path within a short radius, so treat access as rough. A landowner's word beats anything printed elsewhere. Fishing rules and camping rules are set separately here. The nearest alternative is Soil Conservation Service Site 56 Reservoir, 1.2 miles out. For this water in particular, ask before you travel.
