The boundary is close enough to be worth checking before you fish.

• Where to Fish on Vickers Lake

  No depth figure appears in our records, so the bank has to tell you. The old creek line under the surface is the feature worth finding. Look for where the old bank line still shows under the surface. Records collected within a few miles name bluegill and swamp darter. It is a record of sightings and surveys, so use it as a guide. Fish Vickers Lake where the bottom changes rather than where it looks deep.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Average temperature peaks around 81°F in July and bottoms out near 49°F in January. Fish feed through every month here. October and November give a second good stretch as it cools. The hot months push the fishing to dawn and dusk. Plan any trip to Vickers Lake around it. A steady wind fishes better than a still, bright day.

• Tackle & Baits

  The rules here are undocumented as far as public sources go. We find no slipway, car park or made path within a short radius, so treat access as rough. Bluegill and other panfish take small jigs or worms under a float near any cover. Some banks are open only from a marked point. Rules for boats are stricter than rules for the bank in many places. For a change of water, Lindsey Lake is 3.6 miles distant. Nothing on Vickers Lake should be assumed from this page alone.
