I fished Angel Lake on 03/09 from about 10:00am - 5:00pm, with the late start due to the line of storms that blew through the area early Saturday morning. After the storms left, blue bird skies came with winds 15-20 mph, so I fished from the bank until about 1:00pm. Most of the lake is fishable from the bank and I threw a chartruese spinnerbait with gold colorado blades and a keitech trailer. Visibility was much better than I expected at about 2.5 feet. The lake was full and several feet above its normal shore. I caught fish in one foot of water to about nine feet depth and all in between, including the mouths of the two creeks that enter this lake that are about 2 feet deep and three feet wide. Around 1:00pm, the wind subsided and I launched the boat and started throwing a squarebill. Ended the day with 19 total, 4 of which were culls and the release fish being 3-4.5 lbs. I really enjoy this little pond. It reminds me of fishing my favorite farm tank when I was a kid. The description of this lake on the PWF website says solid 2.5 lb bass population. I don't know when the lake was last electro-surveyed, but I would say that the bass have grown as my average was a very solid 3.5 lbs and 18-18.5 inches. Credit great management!
