• Where to Fish on Link Lake Number 2

  Without a survey to go on, judge depth from how the bank falls away. Rip-rap along the wall holds fish that the open bank never does. Built water gives depth close in, which suits a bank angler. Documented catches and surveys in the area cover common carp, channel catfish and largemouth bass. Some of the species recorded here are protected or tightly regulated, so check what may be targeted before you fish. This water responds to conditions more than to tactics.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Long-term averages put July at about 87°F and January near 56°F. Cold never becomes a factor on this one. The cooler months are the comfortable ones to be out. April and May are the settled weeks, with October close behind. That shapes the year on this water. The first warm week of the year changes everything here.

• Tackle & Baits

  The rules here are undocumented as far as public sources go. The car has to stay half a mile away, which shapes how much tackle you bring. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. A phone call first saves an afternoon. Rules for boats are stricter than rules for the bank in many places. The nearest alternative is Link Lake Number 1, 1 mile out. Rules at this water are worth checking on the day.
