• Where to Fish on Soil Conservation Service Site 55 Reservoir

  Nothing in our records gives a depth for this one. Rip-rap along the wall holds fish that the open bank never does. Held water runs deepest at the wall and shallows back to the inflow. Fish this water where the bottom changes rather than where it looks deep. Deeper water next to shallow is more useful than either on its own.

• Seasonal Patterns

  On the long-term average, July reads 84°F and January reads 45°F. There is no frozen season to plan round. 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. The season on this water rarely departs from it.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether you may fish here is not something records settle. Nothing is mapped in the way of a ramp or car park within a short radius. Read any posted signs at the access point rather than assuming. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. Soil Conservation Service Site 56 Reservoir sits 0.7 miles off and takes the overflow. Check the position at this water before loading the car.
