Walleye

Catfish, Bullheads, and Carp

How the Seasons Change Lake Allie

Spring at Allie is a good time to check warm coves and incoming water, and summer is best early or late around weeds, shade and the few deeper holes. Fall at Allie can bring fish back to windy points and banks, while winter calls for smaller baits fished slowly.

A Simple Plan for Fishing Lake Allie

On a first trip to Allie, check one quiet cove, one rocky or firm point and the nearby deep water with a moving lure, then use a jig or worm where you find fish.

Useful Tackle for Lake Allie

A medium spinning rod covers smaller lures at Allie, while a heavier rod and stronger leader are better for northern pike.

Lake Allie FAQs

Where should an angler start on the 509-acre Lake Allie?

At Allie, pick one cove and the closest point or drop into deep water, then fish that small area well before making a long move.

Should anglers fish the 10-foot deep end of Lake Allie?

Not every trip. A better place at Allie is where a point, drop-off or group of baitfish gives the fish a reason to stop.

What does the 3,844 acre-foot storage figure mean at Lake Allie?

At Allie, it shows that a lot of the water sits away from the bank and around the old channel or deep end.
