Still Waters, July 26th, 2022

Reservoirs owned by irrigation companies are being drawn down to satisfy agricultural demands. Fish in such as such as Chesterfield, Twenty-Four Mile, Treasureton and Hawkins Reservoirs will move to cooler, deeper water. Fish in smaller, shallower still waters not subjected to irrigation draw down such as Horseshoe and Teardrop Lakes and the Sand Creek Ponds and the Harriman Fish Pond will become less active during daytime hours. For any of these still waters fishing is most successful early in the day after surfaces have cooled through radiating heat away during night time.

So the old saying “The Early Bird Gets The Worm ” applies to fishing still waters during the summer dog days!
