• Where to Fish on Laurs Lake

  We hold no depth figure for this one. Built water gives depth close in, which suits a bank angler. The arms fish better than the open middle whenever the water is up. Public occurrence data for Jackson County names common carp, walleye and black bullhead. County records show the wider picture rather than this one place. The shape of Laurs Lake rewards a slow walk along one bank.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate records put July near 72°F and January near 13°F. Cold locks it up for a good stretch each year. The lid arrives early and lasts until roughly early April. The water is typically free of ice between early April and late November. Late spring and early autumn carry the year between them. Keep it in mind when planning a trip to Laurs Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access status is simply unknown for this water. Parking is mapped about half a mile from the bank. Laurs Lake Wildlife Management Area covers ground next to the water; its rules will apply on that side. Pike mean a wire trace, no exceptions; big spoons and jerkbaits do the searching. Rules differ from one water to the next round here. Where the way in crosses private ground, ask first. For a change of water, County Ditch Number Thirteen is 2.9 miles distant. For Laurs Lake, the notice at the access point is the final word.
