What to Expect at Upper Lake

Fish and Useful Baits at Upper Lake

Fish reported from Upper Lake include bluegill and largemouth bass.

Bass

When largemouth bass hold tight to cover on Upper Lake, a compact jig or weedless worm is more useful than repeated open-water casts.

Crappie, Perch and Sunfish

A small float, light line and a piece of worm are enough for Upper Lake bluegill around cover.

A Simple Fishing Plan for Upper Lake

Use a moving lure to locate the first active stretch, then slow down on the exact cover that produced a bite on Upper Lake. Then compare vegetation, shaded shoreline and changes from soft to firm bottom around Upper Lake before searching open water.

When to Fish Upper Lake

Spring at Upper Lake favors warming coves, feeder mouths and protected spawning banks. Once summer heat settles over Upper Lake, work the deepest active cover instead of assuming every fish has moved to the bottom. Windblown points on Upper Lake become worth checking when autumn baitfish move shallow.
