Fish and Useful Baits at Highway Lake

A reliable current fish list was not found for Highway Lake, so it would be wrong to promise a certain species without better proof.

A Simple Fishing Plan for Highway Lake

On a first trip to Highway, 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 Highway Lake

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