What to Expect at Lake Lila

Lake Lila was made by holding back a river or creek, making the old channel, bends and quiet coves sensible places to begin.

Fish and Useful Baits at Lake Lila

Bass

For bass at Lila, fish weeds, wood and shade with a jig, spinnerbait or Texas-rigged worm for largemouth.

Crappie, Perch and Sunfish

For panfish at Lila, use a small jig or live minnow beside brush for crappie, and fish a worm, cricket or tiny jig near weeds and shade for sunfish.

Catfish, Bullheads and Carp

For bottom fishing at Lila, put cut bait, chicken liver or a nightcrawler on bottom for channel catfish, and fish corn or dough bait on a simple bottom rig for carp.

A Simple Fishing Plan for Lake Lila

On a first trip to Lila, 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 Lake Lila

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