You are close to a county edge here; who manages the access can change within a short drive.

• Where to Fish on Lake Redwing

  Depth here is unknown, so count the lead down before committing. Draw-down through summer strips the margins, so follow the water out. Standing timber shows when the level drops, and fish sit against it. Species logged nearby in open biodiversity records include channel catfish, dollar sunfish, flathead catfish and notchlip redhorse. Records come from public data, not from a stocking programme. Lake Redwing gives up its fish to patience rather than distance.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Seasonal averages run from 44°F in January up to 80°F in July. It fishes twelve months of the year. Late winter and spring fish steadiest here. Late winter often fishes better here than midsummer does. It holds true on Lake Redwing more years than not. A steady wind fishes better than a still, bright day.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing on record says whether the bank is open or closed. Nothing built is recorded close to the bank here. Catfish want bait on the bottom: cut bait or worms, a simple running rig, and patience after dark. State or provincial rules still apply whatever the bank status. Some ground is open by custom rather than by right, so tread carefully. Failing this one, try Alligator Creek, 1.2 miles away. Signs at Lake Redwing carry more weight than any list.
