We have a few lakes in our area that were made by flooding forest areas and it is so much timber in the lake that you cannot go by just the timber being present to find the fish, the slight creek channels or humps are what you have to find.

In some ways it makes the lake harder to fish as most lakes the cover is in small groupings to concentrate on and will attract fish while these lakes the cover is over the entire body of water and those slight bottom contours will make the differences.

One fishing trip this area will be loaded while the next trip it will be bare but unlike most lakes everywhere looks like a good place to try. lol!
