• Where to Fish on Soil Conservation Service Site 7 Reservoir

  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. Biodiversity records within roughly six miles include bluegill, green sunfish, largemouth bass, yellow bullhead and longear sunfish. It is a record of sightings and surveys, so use it as a guide. On this water a short move beats a long cast.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The range across the year is 43°F to 84°F. The surface stays open the year round. Heat pushes fish deep from June onwards, so start early. June to September is hot work, so the first and last hours are what count. Plan around that when you fish this water. The week either side of a change of season often fishes hardest.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access status is simply unknown for this water. No car park, ramp or path is recorded within easy reach of the shore. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Some banks are open only from a marked point. Where the way in crosses private ground, ask first. Failing this one, try Soil Conservation Service Site 6 Reservoir, 0.9 miles away. Nothing here settles the position at this water for certain.
