Inks Lake Fishing Report – Late Winter / Pre-Spawn Update

Inks Lake is currently at a normal level with stained water and about 2–4 feet of visibility. Water temperatures are sitting around 56°, and bass are starting to transition toward early pre-spawn patterns after the recent freeze. The main spawning activity is likely still a few weeks away, but fish are beginning to move and group up.

The most consistent action has been coming from crankbaits worked around rocky areas and shaky head rigged finesse worms fished around docks, primarily in 5–12 feet of water. Bass are often holding in small groups, so anglers may experience slower stretches between bites, but it’s common to catch multiple fish once an active area is located. Slowing down and thoroughly fishing productive structure has been key to putting together solid days on the water.

Inks Lake is currently at a normal level with stained water and about 3–4 feet of visibility. Water temperatures have dropped into the low 50s, and bass are beginning to group up as winter conditions continue to settle in. Overall, cloudy days have been producing slightly better action than bright, sunny conditions.

The most consistent bite right now has come from crankbaits and jigs worked around rocky areas in 2–14 feet of water. Bass are often holding tightly in small areas, so while there may be slow stretches between bites, it’s common to catch multiple fish once an active group is located. With a strong cold front moving in, anglers can expect the lake to transition even more firmly into classic winter fishing patterns in the coming days.
