Logan City Lake near Phillipsburg: Fishing Spots, Seasons and Access

Rules here are straightforward: one county, one set of rules.

• Where to Fish on Logan City Lake

  Depth remains unrecorded, so treat the first session as a survey. Look for where the old bank line still shows under the surface. Built water gives depth close in, which suits a bank angler. Fish documented in Phillips County include channel catfish, flathead catfish, orangethroat darter, black bullhead and black crappie. Records at this level tell you what is in the area. On Logan City Lake the quiet end is the one worth the extra effort.

• Seasonal Patterns

  July is the warm end of the year here, averaging about 78°F, while January sits near 26°F. In milder years the surface never sets. Cover comes and goes, so treat it with suspicion rather than trust. Late winter often fishes better here than midsummer does. The season on Logan City Lake follows the weather closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing on record says whether the bank is open or closed. Mapping shows an empty shoreline: no ramp, no jetty, no marked entry. Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. Some banks are open only from a marked point. Rules for boats are stricter than rules for the bank in many places. Failing this one, try Big Dutchman Lake, 7.1 miles away. Nothing here settles the position at Logan City Lake for certain.
