• Where to Fish on Lawrences Lake

  There is no recorded depth, so work from what you can see. Look for where the old bank line still shows under the surface. Inflow corners move water, and moving water gathers fish. Across Faulkner County, recorded fish include largemouth bass, bluegill and longear sunfish. County records show the wider picture rather than this one place. Anyone new to Lawrences Lake should walk it once before setting up.

  July runs about 81°F on average, January about 38°F. No part of the year shuts this water. Late winter and spring fish steadiest here. November and March are the quiet, comfortable months to be out. The season on Lawrences Lake follows the weather closely. Overcast days spread the fishing across more hours.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing we hold confirms whether access is permitted. A carry of half a mile from the nearest parking is the price of fishing here. Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. Parking space is the usual limit rather than the bank itself. Where the way in crosses private ground, ask first. Should this one be busy, Beaver Fork Lake is 5.5 miles off. Nothing here settles the position at Lawrences Lake for certain.
