• Where to Fish on Soil Conservation Service Site 9 Reservoir

  Our records hold no depth for this water. A reservoir gives you a hard edge, a shelf, and not much else. Inflow corners move water, and moving water gathers fish. Biodiversity records within roughly six miles include Rio Grande longear sunfish, Guadalupe bass and bluegill. Reporting is uneven, so absence from the list means little. Take this water a stretch at a time.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages here run 83°F at the top of summer and 48°F at the bottom of winter. The year never really closes; it just gets uncomfortable in summer. The first and last hours carry the summer; the middle is slow. Autumn steadies things again once the heat lets go. It sets the rhythm of the year at this water.

• Tackle & Baits

  We hold no note on access for this one. The closest car park is half a mile away, so pack accordingly. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Where a permit is needed, the nearest town usually sells it. Check whether bait restrictions apply before you buy any. Ganzert Lake at 2.2 miles is the sensible second choice. Ask locally about this water if anything is unclear.
