Expect best fishing success on overcast, rainy days during the fall or early spring months when water temperature is below 70¡F. Fish large spinners, bucktails, or plugs near brush structure or weed beds. Muskie are occasionally caught as anglers fish for largemouth bass. Carefully handling both sub-legal and legal muskie at the water’s edge will increase their chances for survival. Channel catfish remain abundant throughout the lake and commonly run from 8-19". Preferred baits include chicken livers, nightcrawlers, prepared baits, and cutbait. Walleye and crappie anglers should expect fair fishing success in 2006. Walleye can be caught fishing gravel points in the spring, the backs of coves in the summer using crappie jigs, nightcrawlers, or minnows, and trolling deep-diving crankbaits across main lake points. The minimum length limit for walleye is 15". Minnows and tube jigs are the preferred baits for crappie anglers in and around brush piles and vegetation. Spring will provide the best opportunity for catching quality (10-13") fish. Both white and black crappie are present with most fish ranging from 7-9". Bluegill fishing will be fair this year but most will range from 3-5". Quality sized bluegill (>6") make up approximately 12% of the population. Small pieces of worms and a bobber make an excellent rig for children to catch this species. Numerous redear sunfish were collected during spring sampling. They will provide the opportunity to battle a larger sunfish species.
