| Species | Rating | Size | Baits, Method, Location |
| Black Bass | Good | Up to 6 lbs. | Casting baits that enable a slow presentation, such as weightless swimbaits, Texas-rigged soft plastics, etc., around primary and secondary points possessing rock piles and other hard substrates on warm, sunny days. |
| Crappie | No Report | Up to 15 inches | Look for fish staging around the mouths of coves where spawning occurs. Vertically fishing jigs is best. |
| Walleye | No Report | Up to 28 inches | Walleye spawn is in full swing. Casting jigs, shallow running stick baits, etc. along the dam face and adjacent shorelines at night or other low-light periods is best. Cedar Bluff walleye harvest is regulated by a 21" minimum length limit and 5 fish/day creel limit, except that anglers have the option to harvest up to 2 walleye 15" but less than 18" as part of the five fish daily creel limit. |
| White Bass/Wipers | Good | Whites up to 17 inches Wipers up to 14.5 lbs. | Casting white curly-tail or bucktail jigs over fast-warming shallow flats in coves towards the west end of the lake has been good especially for white bass and wipers. Anglers continue to report catching good numbers of nice white bass and catch of nice-sized wipers has increased. |
