• Where to Fish on Underwood Reservoir Number 2

  No figure exists for depth, so let the water show you. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Sheridan County records list rainbow trout, brown trout and brook trout among the fish reported. The county figures include rivers and lakes alike. On this water the first feature you find is usually worth a session.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Seasonal averages run from 21°F in January up to 68°F in July. Expect a real winter and a strong spring after it. Look for the thaw near early April; the fishing lifts straight after. The season between ice runs from about early April to early December. Reckon on open water from spring through to late autumn, with May and June the strongest. Expect this water to follow that timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access is not recorded for this water. We find no slipway, car park or made path within a short radius, so treat access as rough. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Sort the permit out before you load the car. Signs go up and come down, so check on the day. For a change of water, Barker Reservoir is 1.1 miles distant. Confirm access to this water locally before you travel.
