Battle Lake is a lake in North Dakota, near Eddy County.
Battle Lake is a lake in Eddy County, North Dakota, and covers about 192.5 acres, reaches about 9.8 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 1,339.1 acre-feet.
At Battle Lake, a point, weed edge, or small drop is more important than simply covering the whole shoreline. With little deep water in Battle Lake, weeds, wind, and water color can matter more than depth alone.
Fish listed for Battle Lake include Northern Pike.
On this 192.5-acre water, try this for northern pike: cover weed edges and shallow points with a spoon, spinnerbait, or minnow-shaped lure.
Near the 9.8-foot deep point, start where two things meet: weeds and open water, rock and mud, a point and a drop, or clear water and dirty water; fish that edge at more than one depth before leaving it.
In Eddy County, in spring, start with warming banks, creek mouths, and shallow cover; summer usually pushes the better bite toward the outside weed edge or a nearby drop; fall can bring bait back to windblown points, while winter calls for smaller moves and a slower pace.
Across this midsize Eddy County lake, a medium spinning rod with 8- to 10-pound line handles most jigs and small casting baits; add a stronger outfit and a proper leader when northern pike are the target.
To narrow down this midsize, shallow lake in Eddy County, record the wind, water color, productive depth, and cover after a bite; those four notes are more useful on the next trip than a long list of spots that did not produce.
