Fishing Cover
and Structure
Lake fishing
offers little shoreline cover or structure.
During high water periods the
flooded vegetation is the
best cover available for fish.
White
bass and
striped bass
fishing on the Lake can be
found in the
creeks in the
early spring, beginning in
the middle of
February. During the
summer months
and the
fall these fish
are found in
the open water
searching for
schooling shad on Lake
Somerville. The area
that is off Welch Park is
usually good
fishing right before the
spring spawning run.
