• Where to Fish on Edgar Lake

  Depth figures are not published for this one. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. Fish Edgar Lake to its features, not to its size. There is not much shape to the outline, and the wind crosses it unbroken.
