Bailey Lake

This lake used to be really good and you could catch multiple good size pike there any night you went but now its been overfished and there is trash everywhere, a few good bass around though

Really difficult to fish, not much open water. but I have caught 6 species of fish out of here and had a couple of pig top water blowups.

not to hate on the younger generations, but seems like they all ride their bikes here to fish, and end up leaving whatever tackle,wrappers, or cans/bottles they came with... also not handling/releasing fish the way they should be, but expect the lake to keep providing fish for them to catch. If you want to continue being able to fish a quiet lake with good fish in it, take care of the lake! leave with what u came with, and if you really care, bring a trash bag and help pick up what the other careless people left behind... also dont take all the bullhead and smaller fish out of this lake to cut up or use as bait to catch bigger fish... if you want the big fish to grow bigger, they need a steady food source! treat the lakes you fish as if they were your own, and they will continue to provide for you and future generations✌️

I love Bailey

Vegetation and fluctuating water levels make this lake hard to fish at certain times, but if you come at the right time at the right spot you're in luck. Ice fishing on this lake is also productive during the midseason.

YOUR LINE WILL GET COUGTH AND IT SUCKS
