Would anybody know where s fella might get a topo map for kincade lake?

I believe angler graphics has one, if they are still around. Try and google them or call Back waters in Lexington.

Thanks Stoner.......since i posted that, i ran across a web page that seems to have a book with a bunch of lake maps in it and kincaid is listed one of the lakes in it...
i think i saw that book in a store i was in a week or so ago but never paid much attn to it.....i need to go back and take a closer look.
by the name i would guess you like stoner creek....that is my favorite fishin hole...
being 15 miles from there might have a lot to do with it eh...but it is a killer little creek to fish.....i like the fryman section myself but i think that is just a matter of preference........................good fishin'....HLL

I've got that book, I think it came from a tackle shop on Meadowthorpe???
My wife picked it up for me several years ago.
Stoner's a great creek to fish, I like both ends of it when it's clean and has a little flow. Those summer months can sure leave out to dry when the duckweed is thick.

The lake map isn't very good other than for navigation. 10hp limit. Tons of crappie, most are small. Heavily pressured for bass in the spring through summer months. There are some big bass in this lake. I have caught 3 bass over 6lbs over the last 4 years. Catch and release only for me. My bigger fish have come within a 1/4 mile of the dam. Lots of weeds on all banks. For numbers I like to fish the upper end of the lake before the bridge. Nice lake. It is either real good or real poor. For bass fishing I would rate it 7 out of 10. Crappie a 8 of 10, bluegill 3 of 10, channel cat 5 of 10.

Thanks fellas.....i have the best luck fishing stoner in the fall but it has been a tough nut to crack this fall....never got a rain to clean the gunk out this year.....we were catchin' some decent fish there in late august and september but it was tough finding your way around the duck weed and it has been a lttle clearer than it usually is this time of the year....Bassky,is the 10 horse limit on the lake mean you can't put a bigger enjine on the lake or can you idle around with a bigger motor.........
if you can't start a bigger motor, is the lake small enough to fish it with the trolling motor.....it sounds like you like fishing that lake quite a bit....it is about an hour or so
driving time from me so i would like to give it a try.....
......i'm just full of questions ain't I.....

It is a 10HP limit and no, you cannot idle your big motor, but it is small enough to use a trolling motor. That's what I do when I go there. You dont need a topo map of the lake, it's nothing but a soup bowl anyway. Any map you would find probably wouldnt be too accurate. There are some big fish in there, took 22lbs to win one of our club tourneys there this year (6 fish limit). Last year saw a guy weigh 4 fish for 18 and some change. I know for sure there is one 7lber swimming in there, I turned her back.

Thats a great track record eh....we have a lake here...Carnico...that is that type of lake, i seldom fish it but i am going to hafta learn how......that type lake is opposite of the kind of water i like fishing...im kind of addicted to a little sharper drops,not necessarily deep water but not so much the gradual tapering banks....
thanks Bass.....appreciate the info, thanks.....HLL

[buzzking]

Go sink some more brush on carnico, the fish seem to respond to it real well

[Hlleonard]

It looks like when they built the lake maybe they cleaned it up a little too much eh.....it looks like a place you tie on a spinner bait or a crank bait and just keep chunkin it...

I don't think this is completely accurate, check out this link from kdfwr

note the section on kincaid....

"10 HP OR slow speeds which cause
no disturbance or interference with
fishing are required on: Beaver Lake,
Boltz Lake, Bullock Pen Lake, Corinth
Lake, Elmer Davis Lake, Cranks Creek
Lake (Herb Smith Lake), Kincaid Lake,
Shanty Hollow Lake, Swan Lake."


I found this a while ago and have taken my boat to the lake several times and ran at idle and have not had any problems, perhaps i just got lucky.

All I know is I have fished plenty of tournaments there and nobody runs their big motor. I dont know if that is right or wrong, but no one does it. One guy in our club even has a mount on the back of his bass rig for a 10hp kicker for when he fishes Kincade.
