    Lake Sara

    Anyone fish on Sara? Looking to fish a weekend in April. Is there much grass/structure? How’s water clarity typically?

    It's been a few years. Fun lake. Do you know you need a special permit to boat the lake that's rather pricey. If you stay at the resort on the lake, they'll include a boat permit though with your rental.

    I live 15 minutes from the lake. It has quite a bit of grass, a bunch of riprap and lots of docks. The local fisheries committee has hinge cut a bunch of trees into the lake and dropped several large fish habitat structures into the lake. A permit is required ($25 for a 3 day permit, available at the Phillips 66 gas station located at the highway intersection where you turn off to go to the lake). There is also a $5 daily ramp fee to launch.
