Morris Lake

This Vernon Parish water is recorded as Morris Lake, a reservoir, which is why I would keep the first plan small and easy to judge. I would spend the first part of the day around one familiar-looking area near the launch, because one productive area is more useful than several random moves.

Morris Lake Size, Maximum Depth and Volume

There is no solid standalone set of acreage, depth, and volume figures for Morris Lake, which makes it smarter to avoid building the day around an estimate, and that is a reason to let the actual shoreline set the scope of the trip. That makes learning the shoreline for yourself more useful, because if a reliable measurement turns up later, it can be used then.

Fishing This Water

There is not much exact-water fish information published for Morris Lake, so I would treat the first outing as a chance to identify the main targets, and I would rather avoid copying a species list from a nearby lake. A first trip makes more sense with one versatile setup carrying a small soft plastic and a live-bait option, because the first bites can tell you more than a guessed species list.

A Practical Morris Lake Game Plan

For a first trip to Morris Lake, I would fish one straightforward section of bank long enough to judge the plan before moving; if a bait begins producing, I would stay with it long enough to understand what is different about that spot.
