Fish species in Fullerton Lake

Official stocking history

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.

Within Vernon Parish, Fullerton Lake is identified as a reservoir, so the first move is to keep the first plan small and easy to judge. A first look would begin around one nearby area near the launch, because that keeps the day simple while the water is still unfamiliar.

Fullerton Lake Size, Maximum Depth and Volume

Reliable acreage, maximum depth, and storage numbers are not readily available for Fullerton Lake, and that is a reason to treat the first outing as a chance to learn the water's scale, so on a first visit I would keep the first plan modest until I see the water. The first trip should emphasize checking the scale for yourself, and I would plan modestly until the size of the water is clear.

Fish Species and Best Baits

Species tied to Fullerton Lake include Black Bullhead, Black Crappie, Bluegill, Bowfin, Channel Catfish, Largemouth Bass, Longear Sunfish, Redear Sunfish, Spotted Gar, Warmouth, and Yellow Bullhead, which is why a focused target is easier to adjust than three completely different fishing plans. On Fullerton Lake, if bass are present, a spinnerbait plus a Texas-rigged plastic gives a practical first-trip combination, so I would stay with the first useful clue.

A Practical Fullerton Lake Game Plan

A practical first day on Fullerton Lake starts with one sheltered section of bank and one clear target; I would spend more time fishing a promising area than driving around looking for a perfect one.
