A spinnerbait, square-bill and Texas rig cover the most useful largemouth situations on Althea Lake.
Slow vertical presentations around wood and suspended cover are dependable for Althea Lake crappie. Bluegill and other sunfish in Althea Lake take worms, crickets and tiny jigs along shade and vegetation. Keep a small jig, minnow or worm close to the bottom when perch are the target on Althea Lake.
A spoon or compact swimbait worked beside weeds is a practical chain pickerel choice on Althea Lake.
