I have been fishing Lake Hortonia since 1985. I now have a house on the lake. The fishing has always been great however, there are some days the catch is light. The best way to fish the lake id to follow the weed lines and drop plastic bait at the edge. Really good around the many islands. Spinner baits work well. The clor changes by the day so you have to try different colors almost daily. White seems to work best.
