• Where to Fish on Kitten Lake

  Depth is not on record here, so the bank has to tell you. Inflow corners move water, and moving water gathers fish. Built water gives depth close in, which suits a bank angler. Documented catches and surveys in the area cover redbreast sunfish, bluegill, blackbanded darter, warmouth and greater jumprock. Presence in the area does not guarantee a fish on the day. The shape of Kitten Lake decides where the fish sit.
