Webster Reservoir Fishing Report - Updated: 04/14/2025
| Species | Rating | Size | Baits, Method, and Location |
|---|---|---|---|
| Crappie | Fair | 7 to 17 inches | Are starting to pick up a few around the north and south shore breakwaters and fish attractors using jigs and jigs with minnows. |
| Walleye | Fair | 14 to 28 inches | Spawn is pretty much over therefore, I would recommend thinking about getting those jigs and night crawler's out and start fishing on the flats as they will be moving up to feed. Trolling diving lures along the dam and river channel could also be productive. |
| White Bass/Wiper | Good | 8 to 28 inches | Both species are being caught around the north and south shore fish attractors and breakwaters using jigs and jigs tipped with minnow. Trolling diving lures lake wide could also be productive. |
| Catfish | Fair | 12 to 30 inches | Been catching some up to the west end in the shallower water that warms up quicker than the rest. They are being caught using shad, shrimp, gizzards, night crawler's or stink baits on the bottom. |
| Largemouth Bass | Fair | 12 to 22 inches | Fish are being caught around the maintained fish attractors, outlet and breakwaters using plastics and spinner baits. |
| Rainbow Trout | Good | 10 to 20 inches | Have been catching trout on Powerbait, salmon eggs, corn and cheese. Would also recommend cast small cast-masters and spinners. Trout season ends on March 31st so after that date NO trout permit is needed, however, the creel limit of 5 trout still applies. |
| General Comments | |||
| WATER TEMPERATURE- 57° SURFACE ELEVATION- 1867.21 ---- 25.24' below conservation pool The water level is 11.00' lower than it was one year ago at this time. Old Marina, Morel, Goose Flats and Lake view boat ramps are not usable; however, Rock Point (north ramp has been barricaded off, but the south ramp goes all the way to the bottom and is still usable). Fish cleaning station has been closed for the winter and has NOT been opened as of yet (hopefully soon). A boat cleaning station (CD3) has been added by the fish cleaning station and is usable at this time. The Stilling Basin was stocked with trout for the Trout Season that Started on December 1 and goes thru March 31, 2025. After March 31st, NO trout permit is required, however, the 5 fish creel limit still applies. Remember it is illegal to release any fish into public water unless it was taken from that water.
