Fish and Useful Baits at Kepler Lake

A reliable current fish list was not found for Kepler Lake, so it would be wrong to promise a certain species without better proof.

A Simple Fishing Plan for Kepler Lake

On a first trip to Kepler, check incoming water, one bend in the old channel and a point near deep water with a moving lure, then slow down with a jig or worm where you get a bite.

When to Fish Kepler Lake

Spring around Kepler is a good time to check warm coves and incoming water, and summer is a good time to fish shade, weeds and the first drop into deeper water. Fall around Kepler can bring fish back to windy points and banks, while winter calls for smaller baits fished slowly.
