Lake Lochloosa info

I have some questions about the lake and surrounding area.

Is the fishing decent? What are the most common techniques? Is there grass in the lake?

Is Lochloosa Harbor resort a decent place? Is it safe and secure?

Any other places to stay close?

Any good restaurants close by?

Thanks in advance

I pnlu fished there once, but I hear it is a good place. No idea about safety.

I fished there a few years ago I had a waterfront campsite it was good. Bathroom needed work. Ramp was good and pier was good when I night fished

Lake is surrounded by pads fish were in them. On the edge and in open water trolling

Are a a bbq restaurant near by to north it was good news t much around there

left stuff in boat whole time no bothered it boat was tied next to camper

Lots of fish in that lake, no trophies but u can fill a cooler no problem. Hawthorn is ur closest civilization for food and gas. I usually launch at the harbor because it's less crowded than the county ramp. I'd say 60% of people long line and 35% drift across the lake with the wind. I usually Spyder rig there. I find that longlining isn't as good a tactic there because those fish will group up in the little potholes scattered around the lake. By the time u get a couple bites ur already past the school and u gotta loop it wide to get back to it. Spyder rigging u can find those pods and sit right on em till they quit biting. Orange lake is just as good they are connected by a creek but the hydrilla is pretty thick around the sides of orange

Very good lake for numbers. Best time to go is January or February. Good eats in Hawthorn but the best is the Yearling. We go every year and stay at the Harbor.

Wow, great job. Great info.

Longlinning or spider rigging you should be able to limit out.
