  There is no recorded depth, so work from what you can see. The arms fish better than the open middle whenever the water is up. Look for where the old bank line still shows under the surface. Public occurrence data for Lincoln County names channel catfish, orangespotted sunfish, green sunfish and largemouth bass. The county figures include rivers and lakes alike. At this water the water rewards a slow, careful approach.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The range across the year is 37°F to 82°F. The hard part of the year is the heat, not the cold. Heat pushes fish deep from June onwards, so start early.
