Bullheads at Coterell Lake will take worms and small pieces of cut bait presented close to soft bottom.

A Simple Fishing Plan for Coterell Lake

Let wind and water clarity choose the starting bank, then follow that bank until the bottom or cover changes on Coterell Lake. Then compare natural weed edges, shaded shoreline and changes from soft to firm bottom around Coterell Lake before searching the middle.

When to Fish Coterell Lake
