Bright moon and an empty sky tonight, with a helpful ripple pushed from the SSW and a rising glass. Give rip-rap and rocky transitions the first hour at 0.2 Reservoir. A broad window opens from night into morning. Commit to the pattern once the first fish shows. The season of moving fish: stay mobile and watch for bait.

0.2 Reservoir stands in Juneau County, Wisconsin. The surface lies 1,053 feet up. The far bank is a conversation away, so keep low and quiet. It is a small entry by Juneau County standards. Elroy sits 5.5 miles from the bank. Beyond it, New Lisbon at 5.8 miles and Mauston at 6.1 miles. The boundary is near enough that local access rules are worth double-checking.
No published figure covers depth, so learn it as you fish. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Reported across Juneau County: brown trout, common carp, bluegill and yellow perch. The county list is broader than any single water. On this water the obvious spot is not always the productive one.
The range across the year is 14°F to 70°F. Winter shuts the surface down for months. The open season starts with the thaw, near enough early April. Climate averages put the opening at about early April and the closing near early December. September and October fish steadily right up to the freeze. Plan any trip to this water around it.
There is no clear statement anywhere on who can fish it. The map shows no ramp or car park nearby, so this is a walk-in water. For the trout, small spinners and a box of nymphs cover both approaches. Check locally before you travel, because a wasted drive is a long one. Where the way in crosses private ground, ask first. 0.36 Reservoir at 4.3 miles is the sensible second choice. For this water in particular, ask before you travel.
