Wallace Lake Fishing near Jonesville, Louisiana

• Overview

  Wallace Lake is a Catahoula Parish water, in Louisiana. This is oak and grass country. At 299 acres this is proper open water rather than a pond. You are looking at roughly 5.9 miles of shoreline, with plenty of water between access points. Size puts it in the front rank of our Catahoula Parish list. Jonesville lies 3 miles from the water. Beyond it, West Ferriday at 15 miles and Ferriday at 16 miles. A county line runs close by, so local bylaws can differ within a short drive.

• Where to Fish on Wallace Lake

  Nothing we hold settles how deep this runs. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Public wildlife records from this area list largemouth bass, white crappie and bluegill. Protected fish appear in the records for this area, so treat the list as information, not an invitation. Wallace Lake fishes better once you know its edges.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warmest month averages 82°F, the coldest about 47°F. Winter is a mild inconvenience here, nothing more. The cooler months are the comfortable ones to be out. March through May is the strongest run, with October and November a second stretch. That shapes the year on Wallace Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  Ownership and access are not documented in what we hold. No dam controls it, and the level follows the season. Mapping records no facilities at all near this water. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Check whether a boat is allowed before you tow one. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. Failing this one, try Tew Lake, 2.1 miles away. None of that is settled for Wallace Lake in what we hold.
