• Where to Fish on Number 95 Lake

  No depth figure appears in our records, so the bank has to tell you. Levels move with the draw rather than the rain on water like this. Standing timber shows when the level drops, and fish sit against it. County-wide records name bluegill, channel catfish and green sunfish. Records at county level tell you what is around, not what is stocked here. The shape of this water rewards a slow walk along one bank.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The year swings from about 27°F in January to roughly 78°F in July. A long season, with weather mattering more than the month. In milder years the edges alone go, and the middle never sets. Late winter often fishes better here than midsummer does. On this water that shapes the whole year.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. Recorded parking is half a mile off, far enough to travel light. For the catfish, fish bottom baits into the deeper holes and let them sit. Season dates differ by species, so read the table. Night access is frequently treated as a separate matter. William L Howard Lake at 6.7 miles is the sensible second choice.
