• Where to Fish on Cadillac Lake

  No chart reached our records; the first cast is your sounding. Look for where the old bank line still shows under the surface. Rip-rap along the wall holds fish that the open bank never does. Sedgwick County records list bluegill, green sunfish, flathead catfish, channel catfish and common carp among the fish reported. Records at this level tell you what is in the area. Read Cadillac Lake before you fish it and the day goes better.

• Seasonal Patterns

  In an average year July sits at 81°F and January at 31°F. Seasons here are moderate, and the fishing runs most of the year. In a normal year the cover is thin and short-lived. February into May fishes hardest as the water warms. The season on Cadillac Lake rarely departs from it.

• Tackle & Baits

  We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. Parking within 170 yards means no long carry with tackle. For the catfish, fish bottom baits into the deeper holes and let them sit. Parking space is the usual limit rather than the bank itself. Rules for boats are stricter than rules for the bank in many places. The nearest alternative is Horseshoe Lake, 2.7 miles out.
