Parker's Lake?

[AJ]

Anyone ever fish Parker's Lake in Plymouth? I have seen a few folks out in the early morning or evening and one permanent house in the middle. What can be caught and where would one start? Just thought I might give it a shot. Thanks.

I've fished Parkers in the summer many times. Its a pretty good lake for pike and bass and small enought were you don't have to deal with many recreational people. Tried ice fishing there twice by the deeper hole on the far side of the lake from the access caught only 2 crappies each time so not much luck there for me.

I tried Parkers Lake once last year and caught a few small crappies and bluegills. I fished the hole in 35 feet of water and then moved up to 20 feet of water. Not sure whats good this year but it might be worth a try.
Good Fishing, Matt.

I fished parkers alot as a kid, and always did good with largemouths, and sunfish.
about 2 years ago I returned there to try out a new flyrod and some poppers, I caught many bluegills close to a half a pound, and lots of small to medium LM Bass. A whole lot of fun!

AJ, Parkers lake is definately worth trying. I have fished Parkers the last few years and have found it to be a great lake for better than average sized panfish--niice bass and notherns too. The panfish really start going good around the beginning of February. Plenty of nice sunnies and some decent crappies. Find a weed edge in around 10-12 feet and move along the edge in and out of the weeds until you start catching a few. During the day you will do alot of sorting but once it gets close to sunset the larger fish "come out to play".

I will most likely be heading out there this coming weekend--I will post how I faired.

I once lived 1/2 mile from parkers and fished it a lot. If you drive by it every day, you are not very far from Independance. You will have more success there than Parkers. Parkers has two holes which may hold some panfish. Spend the extra few minutes and scout out a better lake with a decent map.

Thanks for the good feedback, everyone. I will plan to give it a shot in the next 7 days and post the results.

I had a friend that lived on Parkers for a number of years. We used to catch really nice bluegills right off his dock early in the spring. Large mouths were fun to catch all summer long. Only fished it a few times in the winter and did Ok. I will be going back there this winter.
