• Where to Fish on Warren Lake

  Our records carry no depth, so judge it from the bank. Look for where the old bank line still shows under the surface. The arms fish better than the open middle whenever the water is up. Nearby survey and observation records mention Rio Grande longear sunfish, bluegill, channel catfish and orangespotted sunfish. It reflects what has been logged, which depends on who was looking. Work Warren Lake in sections rather than trying to cover it.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The seasonal spread runs 43°F to 83°F. Warm months push fish deep; cool months bring them back. The cooler months are the comfortable ones to be out. The hot months push the fishing to dawn and dusk. That shapes the year on Warren Lake. Cool nights slow the mornings but sharpen the evenings.

• Tackle & Baits

  We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. There is no mapped parking or launch nearby, which keeps numbers down. For the catfish, fish bottom baits into the deeper holes and let them sit. Check whether a boat is allowed before you tow one. Check whether bait restrictions apply before you buy any. The nearest alternative is Mansker Lake, 3.1 miles out. The position on Warren Lake is worth confirming on the day.
