Zebra Mussels |
|
|
Zebra mussels can be found attached to rocks lakewide and are expanding their population. Zebra mussel veligers are too small to be seen with the unaided eye and they can be found in boat livewells, minnow buckets, boat bilges, water toys and anything else that is capable of holding even a small amount of water. Be sure to drain all equipment before leaving the lake to avoid moving veligers to other waters. THIS INCLUDES MINNOW BUCKETS, BOAT LIVEWELLS AND BILGES!!!

White Bass |
Fair to Good |
Up to 2 lbs. |
Good numbers of 12 to13 inch white bass are being caught with some up to 18-inches! Trolling small to medium sized crankbaits has been productive this week.
Make sure you can identify your catch. For tips on identifying a white bass from a white perch, wiper or striped bass click HERE. |
Wiper |
Fair and improving |
2-14 lbs. Must be 21" to be legal, creel limit 2/day. |
White bass are accounting for the majority of the catch this week but a few wipers are also being picked up trolling. Most of these are 18 to 22-inches in length. Small to medium size crankbaits have been producing fish while trolled at 3+mph.
Be sure to measure your catch, wipers less than 21" must be released. For tips on identifying wipers, click HERE. |
Walleye |
Slow |
18 to 30" Must be 21" to be legal, creel limit 2/day. |
No recent reports but walleye fishing should be picking up soon as the water temperatures begin to cool down.
Be sure to measure your catch, walleye less than 21" must be released and the creel limit is 2 per day. |
Crappie |

No recent reports |
Channel Catfish |

3-10 pounds |
Channel cats should be picking up; no recent reports |
White Perch |
Fair |
Up to 12" |
White perch cannot be used as live bait, but they do make a good cut bait. For tips on identifying a white perch from a white bass, wiper or striped bass click HERE.
All white perch in your possession must be dead. It is illegal to posses live white perch. |
| COMMENTS |
Remember to measure the wiper and walleye you catch. Fish may be below the 21" minimum length limit.
Fishing for walleye should be good in 2009 based on fall sampling. We collected good numbers of walleye above the 21" length limit. We also collected 210 walleye that ranged from 8-12" in size, which were from the 2008 stockings. Expect to catch lots of small fish in 2009, with an occassional keeper over 21".
Fishing for wiper will also be very good in 2009. We collected great numbers of fish over the 21" length limit and lots of smaller fish.
Good luck fishing in 2009! |

KDWP is trying a pilot project where we are creating a fishing newsletter that can be sent out to all that want it. This newsletter is only for fishing information for the El Dorado District (Cowley,Butler, Chase, & Morris counties). If this becomes a success, other districts will be added to the project. The first edition will be sent out around the first of May. To subscribe, click HERE .
The August through October issue of the newsletter was sent out August 12 so if you didn't receive yours then you may need to subscribe again as there has been a few "undeliverable" returns on email addresses. |
Channel Catfish |
Fair |
Up to 6 lbs |
Drifting shad in the mainlake and crawlers in the creeks. |
Saugeye |
Fair |
Up to 5 lbs |
Saugeye continue to be shallow as they feed on shad. Trolling crankbaits near shore in water 2 to 5 feet deep is a good tactic. Shad are numerous this year and also pretty small (3-inches) so try various sizes of baits until you find the right one. We saw some 24-inch saugeye during fall fish sampling this October and they were FAT! |
White Bass |
Good |
Up to 16-inch |
White bass are feeding up on shad and can be found on the points or along the dam. They can be caught trolling, casting, or vertical fishing. |
Wiper |
Fair |

Wiper were stocked in Council Grove during the spring of 2008. Some of these fish are approaching 14-inches in length. They are being caught along with the white bass so be sure to examine your catch closely as there is a 18-inch length limit and 2/day creel on wipers! Click HERE for information on properly identifying white bass and wipers. |

White bass are being caught off windblown points, shallow rocky shorelines and along the dam on jigs, crankbaits, and spinners. Also see report for Wipers.

| General Comments |
Remember the 18" minimum length limit on walleye.
White bass and wiper fishing should be very good in 2009. The lake ranked number one in our 2009 fishing forecast for white bass and number 2 for wiper. Sampling indicated lots of white bass in the 6-12" range and a few up to 15". Wiper fishing should also be good in 2009.
Winter Anglers: Remember to practice safety while fishing in cold weather. Watch for ice, stay warm and dry, and use extreme caution when venturing out onto the ice. Before ice fishing, check local regulations. Ice fishing is prohibited in some areas.

| General Comments |
The lake level is slowly going down and is now about 8 inches below pool. Lilly pads and submerged vegetation are becoming more prevalent making retrieves more difficult.
White perch have been found in the lake, and they can become a fisheries management nightmare. If you catch a white perch, you must kill it; do not release it back into the water. Also, do not move fish from one body of water to another. To see what a white perch looks like, click HERE. |

| General Comments |
We are conducting an angler survey this year at the lake. A creel clerk will be counting and interviewing anglers, and you will probably run into him. He will be asking several questions about your fishing trip. The information we obtain will help us better manage the fish populations at the lake.
Fishing for largemouth bass should be good this year, because catch rates were up in our electrofishing samples. We collected over 100 bass in 1 hour of electrofishing and one bass weighed 6.7 lbs. The 18" minimum length limit has been changed to a 13-18" slot limit. This means that bass from 13-18" need to be released back into the water. Anglers can keep up to 5 bass per day that are less than 13" or larger than 18". The whole idea behind this slot limit is to get more smaller bass harvested, because there are too many little bass and growth is slow. If you have any questions about the length limit change call Jessica Mounts at 316-683-8069.
Fishing for channel catfish should be good this year as well. We stocked 4,600 catfish last fall and they averaged about 9 inches in length. We fin clipped all the fish stocked and will be tracking there growth rates.
