A Simple Fishing Plan for Banks Lake

When to Fish Banks Lake

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