The surface temperature at Willow Lake is warm, which will slow trout fishing considerably. Fishing for bass and panfish is more likely to be productive. Lake clarity is good but aquatic vegetation could be problematic in some areas. Anglers should concentrate on submerged willows or rocky shorelines.
At 57 percent full, Willow Lake remains higher than other reservoirs in the area, but the boat ramp was getting close to unusable at the most recent check. Try contacting Jackson County Parks before heading up with a boat to launch.
