Fish species in White Meadow Lake

White Meadow Lake is a reservoir in Morris County, but a dependable acreage figure was not found. Dependable maximum-depth and storage-volume figures were not found for White Meadow Lake, so those measurements should not be guessed.

What to Expect at White Meadow Lake

Without trustworthy acreage or depth figures for White Meadow Lake, the safest approach is to read the water in front of you instead of assuming it fishes like another lake with the same name.

Fish and Useful Baits at White Meadow Lake

Fish reported from White Meadow Lake include black crappie, bluegill, chain pickerel, channel catfish, largemouth bass, and yellow perch.

Bass

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

Crappie, Perch and Sunfish

Slow vertical presentations around wood and suspended cover are dependable for White Meadow Lake crappie. Bluegill and other sunfish in White Meadow Lake take worms, crickets and tiny jigs along shade and vegetation. Keep a small jig, minnow or worm close to the bottom when perch are the target on White Meadow Lake.

Chain Pickerel

For White Meadow Lake pickerel, cover weed edges with a flashy moving lure and use a short leader when bite-offs become common.

A Simple Fishing Plan for White Meadow Lake

Let water color, wind and the first two bites decide whether to stay shallow or move toward the basin on White Meadow Lake. Then compare the incoming-water end of White Meadow Lake with the dam side and any point that reaches the old channel.

When to Fish White Meadow Lake

On White Meadow Lake, spring fish often move onto protected banks before the open basin warms. Summer fishing on White Meadow Lake is usually best at low light, beside shade or along the outside edge of healthy cover. During fall at White Meadow Lake, revisit creek mouths and main points with baitfish-sized lures.
