• Where to Fish on Lake Lure

  Depth went unrecorded, which puts the reading back on you. Rip-rap along the wall holds fish that the open bank never does. Built water gives depth close in, which suits a bank angler. Public wildlife records from this area list bluegill, brown bullhead, chain pickerel, dollar sunfish and spotted sunfish. It reflects what has been logged, which depends on who was looking. Lake Lure gives up more to patience than to distance.

• Tackle & Baits

Check whether a boat is allowed before you tow one. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. If the gate is shut, Johnson Lake at 3.8 miles is the nearest alternative.
