• Where to Fish on Lake Winnepesauka

  Depth went unrecorded, which puts the reading back on you. The arms fish better than the open middle whenever the water is up. Draw-down through summer strips the margins, so follow the water out. Records held for Catoosa County cover bluegill, green sunfish, redbreast sunfish and snubnose darter. The list covers the county rather than this water alone, so treat it as a guide. Read Lake Winnepesauka before you fish it and the day goes better.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages here run 79°F at the top of summer and 39°F at the bottom of winter. Fishing runs all year, with summer the awkward season. March through May is the strongest run, with autumn a second stretch. June to September is hot work, so the first and last hours are what count. Plan around that when you fish Lake Winnepesauka.

• Tackle & Baits
