Fish and Baits at Fish Lake

How the Seasons Change Fish Lake

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

A Simple Plan for Fishing Fish Lake

On a first trip to Fish Lake, 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.

Useful Tackle for Fish Lake

A medium spinning rod with 8- to 10-pound line handles most jigs, worms and small lures at Fish Lake, while a medium-heavy rod is better for bass jigs and heavier bottom rigs.
