Triss Lake

Triss Lake is a reservoir in Somerset County, but a dependable surface-area figure was not found. Dependable maximum-depth and storage-volume figures were not found for Triss Lake, so neither should be estimated from a similarly named lake.

What to Expect at Triss Lake

Without trustworthy acreage or depth figures for Triss 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 Triss Lake

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

Bass

A spinnerbait, square-bill and Texas rig cover the most useful largemouth situations on Triss Lake.

Crappie, Perch and Sunfish

For Triss Lake crappie, hold a 1/16-ounce jig or minnow beside wood instead of dragging it through snags. Bluegill in Triss Lake are practical targets with a worm or small jig suspended beside shallow cover. Yellow perch in Triss Lake are commonly caught with a small jig tipped with a minnow or worm near bottom.

Catfish, Bullheads and Carp

For Triss Lake channel cats, place cut bait or a nightcrawler along the creek channel and give the bait time to work.

A Simple Fishing Plan for Triss Lake

Let wind and water clarity choose the starting bank, then follow that bank until the bottom or cover changes on Triss Lake. Then check the original creek route, the dam end and any point on Triss Lake that reaches toward deeper water.

When to Fish Triss Lake

A sunny spring afternoon can pull Triss Lake fish toward dark bottom, wood and new vegetation. Summer fish in Triss Lake may feed shallow at dawn before settling beside cover or deeper structure. Cooling water can bring Triss Lake fish back to points and banks where bait gathers.
