• Where to Fish on Maytags Lake

  Our records carry no depth, so judge it from the bank. Held water runs deepest at the wall and shallows back to the inflow. The old creek line under the surface is the feature worth finding. Nearby survey and observation records mention bluegill, backwater darter, green sunfish and black crappie. Treat it as evidence of what swims in the area. Maytags Lake repays a walk before the first cast.
