Last Updated: 12/28/2009
Species |
Rating |
Size |
Baits, Method, & Location |
Largemouth bass |
Slow |
Up to 4 lbs |
Have not heard of any being caught. Try soft plastics, spinnerbaits, and crankbaits along the dam, back in the coves or the creek channel. As temperatures continue to decline, expect the bass to move into the coves and shallower waters to feed on shad in preparation for winter. |
Walleye |
Good |
Up to 4 lbs |
Walleye fishing should improve as the water temps fall. 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 |
|
Try fishing along drop offs and around brushpiles with jigs and minnows. Over the next few weeks, the fish should start to move in shallow near brush piles. Also try jigs, slab spoons, and minnows. 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 |
Slow |
Up to 5 lbs |
The catfish bite has slowed recently. |
| General Comments |
This is a generic winter fishing report covering the fishing forecast for the upcoming 2010 fishing season. The Winter Fishing Opportunity section will be updated should good information become available. Regular weekly fishing reports will resume in March 2010. Here are some general tips for fishing during the off-season. Largemouth bass should fall for spinners and swimbaits early & late and plastic baits, spinnerbaits, jigs and crankbaits during the day. Try for crappie using small jigs and minnows along the rocks, cattails and brushpiles. Try for channel catfish by using shad sides, stinkbait or liver. Try for walleye using crankbaits or by using a jig nightcrawler or minnow combination drifted with the wind. Try for all species on the sunny and windy banks/points. Please remember not to litter.
Release all largemouth bass less than 15 inches and walleye less than 15 inches.
Please discard of leftover bait in a trash can, even baitfish. Remember it is illegal to release any fish into public water unless it was taken from that water!

Rainbow Trout |
Good |
0.5 lb. average |
The bite has been good primarily in shallow, sun-warmed areas of the lake. Anglers fishing the right spots are able to manage limits without too much trouble. Still fishing salmon eggs or powerbait off the bottom seems to be very productive, but some anglers report good success using small in-line spinners.
We completed the last stocking of the 2009/2010 trout season as 1,300 trout were released into the State Lake on March 15. The stocking primarily consisted of 13 to 15 inch fish but fish up to 18 inches were stocked. |
Walleye |
Slow |
up to 8 lbs. |
The walleye spawn should be getting started so look for fish to frequent the dam and rocky shorelines at night. Brightly colored jigs and stickbaits tend to be the best baits. |
Crappie |
Good |
up to 10 inches, but most around 8 inches |
Anglers have begun picking up crappies again, and a few anglers have even reported limits. Vertically fishing small jigs off the handicap dock or slow retrieving a jig under a bobber up in the creek has been best. |
Largemouth bass |
Fair |
up to 5 lbs. |
Soft plastics or suspending swimbaits fished around sun warmed rocks and laydown trees. |
Bluegill |
Slow |
up to 7 inches |
Worms under a bobber or fished of the bottom in shallow, sun warmed areas has been best. |
Channel catfish |
Slow |
up to 5 lbs. |
No Reports. |
| General Comments |
ATTENTION: The lake is 100% ice free.
Release all walleye and largemouth bass less than 15 inches.

1-3 lbs |
Catfish like fresh cut bait and they like the windy side of the lake. The cat fishing should be good until the water cools down into the 50's – mid to late October. Try shad sides, shrimp, prepared stink bait or nightcrawlers. |
Smallmouth bass |
No Report |
Up to 14 inches |
Try soft plastics, spinnerbaits, and crankbaits. As temperatures continue to decline, expect the bass to be in the shallows feeding in preparation for winter. |

Try for bluegill using small jigs, or a cricket or piece of worm under a bobber. |

Try fishing along drop offs and around brushpiles with jigs and minnows. Over the next few weeks, the fish should start to move in shallow near brush piles. Also try jigs, slab spoons, and minnows. |

Trolling seems to be the most popular method now with rattletraps and shad raps producing best results. Concentrate on the windy points and other windblown areas. |

Release all largemouth & smallmouth bass, less than 15 inches and wipers less than 18 inches.
