• Where to Fish on Simpson Lakes

  Depth here is unknown, so count the lead down before committing. Held water runs deepest at the wall and shallows back to the inflow. Rip-rap along the wall holds fish that the open bank never does. Documented catches and surveys in the area cover bluegill, redeye bass and white bass. Presence in the area does not guarantee a fish in this exact water on the day. Fish Simpson Lakes to its features, not to its size.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Between January at about 40°F and July at about 78°F, the water has a wide range to work through. Fish stay active all year, but they move with the heat. March through May is the strongest run, with autumn a second stretch. Spring and autumn carry the year; summer squeezes it into the ends of the day. On Simpson Lakes the same rules apply, with local timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public data does not answer the access question here. Nothing in the way of made access shows up nearby: no ramp, no car park, no path. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Parking is often the real limit rather than the bank itself. Some ground is open by custom rather than by right, so tread carefully. If the gate is shut, Martin Lake at 2 miles is the nearest alternative. Nothing on Simpson Lakes should be assumed from this page alone.
