TIPS:
3 Mile Lake has had its struggles from about 2018. However, in 2022 the lake has shown it is on the mend and coming back. Many reports show successful bass fishing trips in the last year or two and tournament weights are coming back as well.
3 Mile fishes similar to 12 Mile in many ways and their close proximity has the structure in the lake mirroring that of 12 Mile too.
Anglers love to flip the timber at 3 Mile and swim jigs, bladed jigs and swim baits doe well here.
More to come in 2023 as we talk with more anglers and take our Bass-Cafe boats down to see for ourselves.
It will be great to see this one time lunker lake make a full comeback and we’ll be there helping relay the results. Check back soon to see how things go.
