Raven Lake Fishing Guide
Angling Opportunities
Lake Raven is known for producing largemouth bass in excess of 10 pounds. It is also capable of producing large redear sunfish, some over 9 inches in length.
Cover & Structure
The primary cover in the lake is a heavy infestation of hydrilla, which makes shoreline access difficult for bank anglers in many areas of the lake.
Tips & Tactics
Bass fishermen are most successful fishing either just after sunup or just before sundown with top-water lures and soft plastics fished at the edge of the hydrilla. During early spring, bass can be taken from shore by flipping soft plastics into nests. Redear sunfish can be taken on live night crawlers or crickets in the same areas.
Fishing Regulations
Being located within a state park, Raven Lake is regulated as a Community Fishing Lake. In addition, a Triploid Grass Carp Permit is in effect on Raven Lake. If a grass carp is caught, it must be immediately returned to the water unharmed.
