• Where to Fish on Lacey Lake Number 2

  No published figure covers depth, so learn it as you fish. Rip-rap along the wall holds fish that the open bank never does. Points where the flooded channel swings in are the reliable ones. Open occurrence data for the surrounding area lists bluegill, blackbanded darter, longear sunfish, black crappie and redspotted sunfish. Reported species tell you what lives around here, nothing more. Fish this water to its features, not to its size.

• Seasonal Patterns

  On the long-term average, July reads 81°F and January reads 46°F. Heat sets the pattern from late spring onward. Heat pushes fish deep from June onwards, so start early.

• Tackle & Baits

  We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. Mapping records no facilities at all near this water. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Check whether a boat is allowed before you tow one. Some stretches are reserved and marked as such on the ground. Laceys Lake Number One, 0.5 miles away, makes the obvious fallback. Ask locally about this water if anything is unclear.
