• Where to Fish on Schultz Lake

  There is no published depth for this one, so start shallow and work out. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Nearby survey and observation records mention dollar sunfish, largemouth bass and margined madtom. Use it to know what is possible here, not what is certain. Take Schultz Lake a stretch at a time.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Seasonal averages run from 47°F in January up to 81°F in July. The awkward stretch is midsummer, not midwinter. Late winter and spring fish steadiest here. The cooler months are the comfortable ones to fish here. On Schultz Lake the same rules apply, with local timing. Water temperature lags the air by a week or so.

• Tackle & Baits

  No access rule appears in what we hold. No car park, ramp or path is recorded within easy reach of the shore. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Ask in the nearest town if you are unsure. Signs go up and come down, so check on the day. Should this one be busy, Bobs Lake is 2.1 miles off.
