| Species | Rating | Sizes Possible | Baits, Method, & Location |
| Crappie | Fair to Good | Up to 12 inches | Look for crappie around brush and vegetation. Anglers should target the brush piles and other submerged structure with minnows and jigs or nearby points and drop offs where pre-spawn crappie might stage. Anglers are encouraged to harvest high numbers of crappie to help maintain a desirable level Harvest regulations include 50/day creel limit. |
| Channel Catfish | Good | Most in the 1 lb size range | Fish can be caught all over the lake. Try shad sides, shad gizzards, shrimp, nightcrawlers, and chicken liver. If it ever rains, target areas of inflow. Harvest regulations are 5/day creel limit. |
| Largemouth bass | Fair to Good | Up to 4 lbs | Fish are in typical spring pattern. Fish can be caught around any aquatic vegetation, off the rocky jetties, and around the brush piles. Harvest regulations include a 15-inch minimum length limit and 5/day creel limit. |
| Bluegill/Redear | Fair | Up to 8 inches | Worms under a bobber and small jigs fished vertically around brush in deeper water. There are no harvest restrictions at this time. |
| Walleye/saugeye | Fair | Up to 4 lbs | Jig and night crawler should really work on the points and flats right now. Also try casting crankbaits and swimbaits over points, shelves, and along rip-rapped shorelines adjacent to deeper water. Harvest regulations include a 15-inch minimum length limit and 5/day creel limit. |
Water temps should be in the upper 50 to low 60 range. We have received very few reports from anglers. You may call the Dodge City Regional office as 620-227-8609 to make a report.
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!
