Lukefahr Lake, Missouri: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Lukefahr Lake is set in Bollinger County, Missouri. It stands 430 feet above sea level. This is a pocket water of some 13 acres, and every part of it is reachable from the bank. It is low-lying compared with other Missouri water we list. 5.3 miles away sits Marble Hill, the nearest town. The nearest city of size is St. Louis, 94 miles away. A border sits close enough to be relevant to the paperwork.

• Where to Fish on Lukefahr Lake

  Nothing in our records gives a depth for this one. Inflow corners move water, and moving water gathers fish. Built water gives depth close in, which suits a bank angler. Records held for Bollinger County cover dollar sunfish, longear sunfish, bluegill, bantam sunfish and green sunfish. County records show the wider picture rather than this one place. On Lukefahr Lake the obvious spot is not always the productive one.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warmest month averages 78°F, the coldest about 31°F. A long season, with weather mattering more than the month. Cover comes and goes, so treat it with suspicion rather than trust. The cooler months are the comfortable ones to fish here. Plan any trip to Lukefahr Lake around it.

• Tackle & Baits

  No access rule appears in what we hold. There is a mapped landing stage half a mile away. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. State or provincial rules still apply whatever the bank status. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. For a change of water, Bollinger Lake is 1.4 miles distant. Treat access at Lukefahr Lake as something to verify.
