Soil Conservation Service Site 6 Reservoir Fishing in Starr County, Texas

• Overview

  Soil Conservation Service Site 6 Reservoir sits within Starr County in Texas. It stands 190 feet above sea level. The water covers some 41 acres, so pick a bank rather than trying to cover it all. Las Lomas lies 5.2 miles from the water. La Grulla is 6.3 miles and Rio Grande City 8.1 miles. No boundary runs near, so the county rules hold throughout.

• Where to Fish on Soil Conservation Service Site 6 Reservoir

  There is no recorded depth, so work from what you can see. Standing timber shows when the level drops, and fish sit against it. Points where the flooded channel swings in are the reliable ones. Open occurrence data for the surrounding area lists Rio Grande cichlid. Take it as evidence of what swims here, not a promise for one session. On this water that means starting tight and working out.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The seasonal spread runs 57°F to 86°F. Heat, not cold, shapes the year here. October and November give a second good stretch as it cools. The cooler months are the comfortable ones to fish here. Time your trip to this water by conditions rather than dates. A grey, mild day is often better than a bright, still one.

• Tackle & Baits

  No access rule appears in what we hold. The map shows no ramp or car park nearby, so this is a walk-in water. A light spinning outfit with a small box of lures and some bait covers most of what swims here. Where access is informal, keep it that way by behaving. Rules for boats are stricter than rules for the bank in many places. Should this one be busy, Cobby Lake is 6.2 miles off. Confirm access to this water locally before you travel.
