Being near a boundary, it pays to know which side you are fishing.

• Where to Fish on Stricklands Lake

  Nothing we hold settles how deep this runs. Standing timber shows when the level drops, and fish sit against it. Levels move with the draw rather than the rain on water like this. Public wildlife records from this area list redbreast sunfish, blackbanded darter, bluegill, green sunfish and black crappie. Records come from public data, not from a stocking programme. Fish Stricklands Lake where the bottom changes rather than where it looks deep.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The seasonal spread runs 43°F to 79°F. The season runs year-round, with the peak either side of summer. Shade and hour of day matter more than month. November and March are the quiet, comfortable months to be out. Plan any trip to Stricklands Lake around it. The first warm days of the year bring fish shallow quickly.

• Tackle & Baits

  We hold no note on access for this one. Nothing is mapped in the way of a ramp or car park within a short radius. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. A phone call first saves an afternoon. Night access is frequently treated as a separate matter. Should this one be busy, Baker Lake is 0.6 miles off. Treat access at Stricklands Lake as something to verify.
