Lake Welsh Fishing Guide

Angling Opportunities

Channel catfish are present with moderately high numbers of legal-size fish available. The largemouth bass population can be characterized as low density with low numbers of legal-size fish available to anglers. The sunfish population is low density with low numbers of fish available for harvest.

Cover & Structure

Structural habitat is comprised of flooded timber, brush, and creek channels.Fish habitat composed of recycled Christmas trees provide additional habitat. Covers less than 5% of lake's surface.

Tips & Tactics

Largemouth bass fishing at Lake Welsh peaks during spring pre-spawn when fish move to shallow flats and points — work Texas-rigged soft plastics, lipless crankbaits, and spinnerbaits for best results. Catfish are productive year-round; cut shad, chicken liver, or prepared stink bait fished on the bottom near structure produces steady action from spring through fall.
