Fish and Useful Baits at Forester Lake

A Simple Fishing Plan for Forester Lake

On a first trip to Forester, 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.

When to Fish Forester Lake

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