A Simple Fishing Plan for Lake Lard

Start with the best-looking shallow cover during the first hour, then move to the nearest drop if the bank is quiet on Lake Lard. Then compare natural weed edges, shaded shoreline and changes from soft to firm bottom around Lake Lard before searching the middle.

When to Fish Lake Lard

Early spring on Lake Lard calls for a slow presentation near the first break outside protected water. At midday in summer, Lake Lard anglers should slow down beside shade, weeds or a nearby depth change. Fall on Lake Lard is a good time for small crankbaits and swimbaits around moving forage.
