• Where to Fish on Mulberry Lake

  Depth here is unknown, so count the lead down before committing. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. Records held for Clark County cover common carp, striped bass, green sunfish and channel catfish. Records at this level tell you what is in the area. The shape of Mulberry Lake rewards a slow walk along one bank.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages here run 87°F at the top of summer and 45°F at the bottom of winter. Cold never closes this one. Late winter and spring fish steadiest here. Autumn steadies things again once the heat lets go. The season on Mulberry Lake follows the weather closely. Warm spells bring fish up, cold snaps push them down.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public sources are silent on who controls the bank. You can park 120 yards away and walk in from there. There are toilets 80 yards off. Floyd Lamb Park at Tule Springs covers this ground, which means extra rules to check. Local rules can differ across the county line, so check where you stand. Check whether bait restrictions apply before you buy any. Tule Springs Lake at 0.2 miles is the sensible second choice. Treat Mulberry Lake as unsettled until someone local tells you otherwise.
