Default Barrier Lake

I fish there quiet often and was there last Sunday, there is a boat launch about 3 or 4 minutes driving time after you pass the dam. The lake is really low right now, I had a hard time launching my 12 foot boat last Sunday, I had to drive onto the beach beside the ramp.

We started fishing around 12:00 and did not get any bites until 2:00 then we had a few up to 3:00 when I packed it in. My son landed 1 12" brown lost another beside the boat and we missed 3 or 4 nice strikes.

If you go turn right off the boat launch and head up towards the dam I have landed a lot of fish in this section of the lake. As the water is always cold the fish always taste good even in July & Aug. I have not been skunked very often fishing Barrier Lake. Our largest last year was an 18" brown.
