Fishing Lacy Lake in Murray County, Oklahoma

• Overview

  Lacy Lake sits in Murray County, out in Oklahoma. The bank is 988 feet above sea level. This is a pocket water of some 20 acres, and every part of it is reachable from the bank. Some 0.9 miles away sits Sulphur, the nearest settlement. After that come Davis at 8.1 miles and Wynnewood at 14 miles. The county line is nowhere near, so one local authority covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Lacy Lake

  There is no published depth for this one, so start shallow and work out. Standing timber shows when the level drops, and fish sit against it. Rip-rap along the wall holds fish that the open bank never does. Nearby survey and observation records mention bluegill, plains darter, Rio Grande longear sunfish and gizzard shad. Records show what people reported, so treat the list as a guide to what lives in the area. On Lacy Lake the first feature you find is usually worth a session.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The seasonal spread runs 38°F to 82°F. Heat sets the pattern from late spring onward. Heat pushes fish deep from June onwards, so start early. April and May are the settled weeks, with October close behind. On Lacy Lake the same rules apply, with local timing. Long dry spells drop the level and concentrate them.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. A carry of half a mile from the nearest parking is the price of fishing here. Toilets are half a mile away, which matters on a long session. Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. Take the rules with you rather than trusting memory. Rules for boats are stricter than rules for the bank in many places. For a change of water, Tull Crest Lake is 1.2 miles distant. Treat access at Lacy Lake as something to verify.
