What to Expect at Lehman Lake

Without trustworthy acreage or depth figures for Lehman 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 Lehman Lake

Fish reported from Lehman Lake include black crappie, bluegill, channel catfish, largemouth bass, and yellow perch.

Bass

Low light favors a topwater or spinnerbait for Lehman Lake largemouth; brighter conditions call for a slower presentation beside cover.

Crappie, Perch and Sunfish

A soft-plastic minnow or live minnow placed beside cover is a sound crappie approach on Lehman Lake. For sunfish on Lehman Lake, keep a cricket or tiny jig close to weed edges and shaded wood. For Lehman Lake yellow perch, work a light jig slowly along the first firm-bottom break.

Catfish, Bullheads and Carp

A simple bottom rig with cut bait or prepared bait is a practical channel catfish setup on Lehman Lake.

A Simple Fishing Plan for Lehman Lake

Start with the best-looking shallow cover during the first hour, then move to the nearest drop if the bank is quiet on Lehman Lake. Then check the original creek route, the dam end and any point on Lehman Lake that reaches toward deeper water.

When to Fish Lehman Lake

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