• Where to Fish on Soil Conservation Service Site 6 Reservoir

  No depth figure appears in our records, so the bank has to tell you. Draw-down through summer strips the margins, so follow the water out. Held water runs deepest at the wall and shallows back to the inflow. Open occurrence data for the surrounding area lists bluegill, black bullhead, green sunfish and redbreast sunfish. Reported species tell you what lives around here, nothing more. This water responds to conditions more than to tactics.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Long-run averages give July about 84°F and January about 51°F. Heat, not cold, decides when to be on the water. October and November give a second good stretch as it cools. April and May are the settled weeks, with October close behind. Plan around that when you fish this water. Autumn cools the shallows first, so work deeper as it goes on.

• Tackle & Baits

  The paperwork position is blank for this one. Recorded parking is half a mile off, far enough to travel light. For the catfish, fish bottom baits into the deeper holes and let them sit. Look for a notice board at the entrance. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. Soil Conservation Service Site 7 Reservoir, 0.8 miles away, makes the obvious fallback. Nothing on this water should be assumed from this page alone.
