BARBER STATE FISHING LAKE - LOWER -

Last Updated: 8/20/2010

Species	Rating	Size	Baits, Method, & Location
Largemouth bass	Good	Up to 4 lbs	There haven't been a lot of big ones caught lately but it sounds like pretty good numbers are coming in. Try soft plastics, spinnerbaits, and crankbaits along the dam, back in the coves or the creek channel.
Walleye	Fair	Up to 4 lbs	Try trolling Wiggle Warts, Hot-n-Tots, Shad Raps, and Thin Fins. Jigs tipped with nightcrawler fished over humps or off edges of flats are always worth trying.
Crappie	Fair		Small fish make up the majority of the catch, but anglers have caught some nice keepers ranging in length from 9 to 13 inches.
Channel catfish	Good	Up to 5 lbs	Channel cat fishing is really going pretty strong now.
General Comments
