Fish and Useful Baits at Maddox Lake

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

A Simple Fishing Plan for Maddox Lake

On a first trip to Maddox, 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 Maddox Lake

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