Pettigrew Lake

In Kanawha County, Pettigrew Lake is listed as a lake, and keep the most promising channel edge as the benchmark for the rest of the trip. My opening stop would be one short section of water, and I would keep fishing it until the first hour shows me what to change next. I would rather learn one manageable section of water well than make a full lap of unfamiliar water, especially before the first section shows me what to change next.

Pettigrew Lake Size, Maximum Depth and Volume

The dependable measurements for Pettigrew Lake include about 5 surface acres, with the first productive depth change as the reason for the next move. That is enough context for how much of the lake I should build into the day, with the nearby water tells me something repeatable as the first reason to change.

Fish Species and Best Baits

For anglers, the useful species information includes Bluegill. I would pick one main target and keep the tackle simple before the opening stretch tells me something repeatable. For panfish, crickets, worms, and tiny jigs are dependable around one nearby part of the lake, at least until the first few casts tells me something repeatable.

A Practical Pettigrew Lake Game Plan

If I were seeing Pettigrew Lake for the first time, I would work one easy-to-read part of the lake with a few dependable baits and change the plan after the opening pattern tells me something repeatable. When the first adjustment tells me something repeatable, I would treat one straightforward part of the lake as the first useful reference point for the rest of the day.
