Thread: Lopez Lake Help

Jeff, Lopez is a good lake for crappie. The most popular spot is Cottonwood cove. Further down the arm of the lake is Mallard cove good too. Like crappiencali said fish around the marina, behind the store, this place gets over looked. A lot of bluegill fishermen will fish here. Go deeper for crappie. There is a big cove on the west side of the boat launch, this area is deep and good. There is a nice cove by the main gate good in the evenings. I am still learning the lake, I like to avoid the crowds.
I have been using Wooly Beavertail by YUM, in 1 1/2" and 2 inch. Pumkinseed / chartreuse. That has been my producer this year. An other good grub is a solid yellow body and a white curl tail.
As far as tying jig, white, yellow head and white body, red head and white or yellow body. I tried a jig yearly in the year work ok. Red head / yellow body with a white strip down the back and a white tail.
All the grubs and jigs range in size from 1/8 - 1/64
