  No depth figure has reached our records, which makes a plummet useful. The arms fish better than the open middle whenever the water is up. The old creek line under the surface is the feature worth finding. Biodiversity records within roughly six miles include blackbanded darter, bluegill, redbreast sunfish, yellow bullhead and brown bullhead. Use it to know what is possible here, not what is certain. Storey Lake responds to conditions more than to tactics.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The year swings from about 42°F in January to roughly 78°F in July. Summer heat is the limit here, not winter cold. The cooler months are the comfortable ones to be out. February into May fishes hardest as the water warms. Storey Lake runs to that rhythm year in and year out. Wind direction matters more than wind strength.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing we hold confirms whether access is permitted. The map shows no ramp or car park nearby, so this is a walk-in water. For the catfish, fish bottom baits into the deeper holes and let them sit. Where the road in crosses private land, ask first. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. Failing this one, try Barnes Lake, 1.6 miles away. For Storey Lake, the notice at the access point is the final word.
