Fish species in Upper Legion Lake

Upper Legion Lake sits in Richland County and is classified as a reservoir; I would pick one nearby part of the lake as the first section and keep fishing it until I find a repeatable bite in the nearby water. For the opening part of the day, I would keep working one short part of the lake until I find a repeatable bite in the opening stretch, because moving constantly makes a lake harder to read.

Upper Legion Lake Size, Maximum Depth and Volume

Upper Legion Lake does not have a dependable set of published size and depth measurements, so I would wait until a reliable lake-specific record provides the figure before trusting a number and stay around one sheltered starting zone until I see a pattern develop in the first area.

Fish Species and Best Baits

Known fish for Upper Legion Lake include Black Crappie, Bluegill, Channel Catfish, and Largemouth Bass, so I would build the first part of the day around a single target fish at one straightforward starting zone and avoid switching until I see a pattern develop in the first adjustment. If bass are present in Upper Legion Lake, a spinnerbait plus a Texas-rigged plastic gives a practical combination around one promising area near the launch; I would change it only when I get a useful answer from the first few casts.

A Practical Upper Legion Lake Game Plan

If I were seeing Upper Legion Lake for the first time, I would work one easy-to-read area near the launch with only a few dependable baits and change one part of the plan before the rest after I get a useful answer from the nearby water. If I get a useful answer from the first hour, I would stay around one manageable area near the launch on Upper Legion Lake and use that clue on the next similar stretch. After I get a useful clue from the first setup, I would leave Upper Legion Lake knowing that one nearby piece of water deserves another look before I start searching somewhere else.
