Nancy Lake is a lake in Alaska, near Matanuska-Susitna County.
Stocking records show that the following fish or strains were stocked here. A historical stocking does not by itself prove that a self-sustaining population remains today.
Nancy Lake is an approachable pike outing near Willow, with a state recreation site on its shoreline. Keep the main lake distinct from the chain of smaller canoe-route lakes nearby. They share the recreation-area name, but they don't all share the same boat rules or fish.
Fish a spoon or weedless lure along vegetation for pike. A suitable leader and pliers make handling the catch easier. Work the outside edge and openings before pushing into the thickest cover. Use the current pike rules for this drainage rather than rules from Interior Alaska, where the species has a different status.
Nancy Lake State Recreation Site is reached from Parks Highway Mile 66.5. It has a boat launch, picnic facilities and first-come campsites. Choose that site for the main lake rather than following directions to a separate canoe-trail put-in.
Camping, paddling and shoreline wildlife watching fit the setting. The wider recreation area has linked canoe routes for a different kind of day out. If you're planning one of those, check portages, motor restrictions and the route itself before expecting to tow a boat between lakes.
