Lents Lake

This Murray County water is recorded as Lents Lake, a reservoir, and I would spend the first part of the trip around one promising section of bank until I see a pattern develop in the opening stretch. On unfamiliar water, I would rather fish one easy-to-read section of bank until I get a useful answer from the first area than make several random moves.

Lents Lake Size, Maximum Depth and Volume

Surface area, maximum depth, and storage are not well documented for Lents Lake, so I would keep those values open until an official lake survey confirms the number while I work one manageable shoreline stretch until I get a useful answer from the first adjustment.

Fishing This Water

A dependable species list for Lents Lake is still hard to verify, so a first trip makes more sense with one light rod with a jig, worm, and float around one nearby shoreline stretch, staying flexible until I get a useful clue from the first few casts. I would rather use a small selection of dependable baits around one sheltered section of water on Lents Lake and wait until I get a useful clue from the first setup before changing direction.

A Practical Lents Lake Game Plan

A practical first day on Lents Lake starts with one straightforward section of water and one target species; from there I would make the simplest change first after I get a useful clue from the opening stretch. If I see enough in the first area, I would keep working one promising part of the lake on Lents Lake and treat that as the main lesson from the first visit. If I see enough in the first adjustment, I would keep track of the depth and presentation around one easy-to-read part of the lake so the next trip to Lents Lake starts with a real plan.
