As Poison Lake warms in spring, check shallow cover and the first drop leading away from it.

In fall, follow cooling water and moving bait toward points, green weeds and wind-hit banks at Poison Lake.

A Simple Fishing Plan for Poison Lake

Make the first trip to Poison Lake easy to read by fishing one shallow spot, one nearby drop and one piece of cover, then return to the type of water that gives the first solid bite.
