Fish and Useful Baits at Morrison Lake

A Simple Fishing Plan for Morrison Lake

On a first trip to Morrison, 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 Morrison Lake

Spring around Morrison 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 Morrison can bring fish back to windy points and banks, while winter calls for smaller baits fished slowly.
