• Where to Fish on Stephens Lake Number 2

  Depth here is unknown, so count the lead down before committing. Points where the flooded channel swings in are the reliable ones. Built water gives depth close in, which suits a bank angler. Documented catches and surveys in the area cover green sunfish, common carp and yellow bullhead. The list reflects reported sightings and surveys rather than what is stocked. On this water a short move beats a long cast.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Typical July readings run about 82°F; by January the average is down near 43°F. Cooler months are the productive ones on most of this water. March through May is the strongest run, with autumn a second stretch. February into May fishes hardest as the water warms. Plan around that when you fish this water.

• Tackle & Baits

  Our records carry no access rule either way. No made access appears within a short radius, so plan to park on a verge and walk. Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. Parking space is the usual limit rather than the bank itself. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. John B Stephens Junior Lake, 3.5 miles away, makes the obvious fallback. Signs at this water carry more weight than any list.
