Morrison Brothers Lake near Greensboro: Fishing Spots, Seasons and Access

• Overview

  Look for Morrison Brothers Lake in the Hale County part of Alabama. The water sits 115 feet up. This is a pocket water of some 21 acres, and every part of it is reachable from the bank. It lies lower than most water we list in Alabama. The closest town, Greensboro, is 8.5 miles distant. Further out sit Eutaw (13 miles) and Demopolis (14 miles). The boundary is close enough to be worth checking before you fish.

• Where to Fish on Morrison Brothers Lake

  Depth here is unknown, so count the lead down before committing. Draw-down through summer strips the margins, so follow the water out. Levels move with the draw rather than the rain on water like this. Species logged nearby in open biodiversity records include longear sunfish, blackbanded darter, redspot darter, pretty shiner and bluntnose minnow. Check the state or provincial list before planning around one species. On Morrison Brothers Lake a short move beats a long cast.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Seasonal averages run from 44°F in January up to 81°F in July. The awkward stretch is midsummer, not midwinter. October and November give a second good stretch as it cools. Spring and autumn carry the year; summer squeezes it into the ends of the day. On Morrison Brothers Lake that shapes the whole year.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether the bank is open is not something our records settle. The map shows no ramp or car park nearby, so this is a walk-in water. Bluegill and other panfish take small jigs or worms under a float near any cover. Rules for this water may differ from the county norm. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. For a change of water, Morrison Brothers Lake is 0.7 miles distant. None of that is settled for Morrison Brothers Lake in what we hold.
