• Where to Fish on Lacy Lake

  Depth is unknown to us, and the shoreline is the better guide. Rip-rap along the wall holds fish that the open bank never does. The old creek line under the surface is the feature worth finding. Open occurrence data for the surrounding area lists redbreast sunfish, bluegill, blackbanded darter and freckled darter. The records cover the area rather than this water alone. At Lacy Lake the first feature you find is worth twenty minutes.

• Tackle & Baits
