Scott State Lake Fishing Report -
| Species | Rating | Size | Baits, Method & Location |
| Crappie | Fair | Up to 15 inches | Fish will move into wind-protected areas possessing hard bottom types to spawn. Cool weather this past week slowed any advancement in spawning activity, thus anglers reported a tough bite. Fish should move shallow with the onset of warmer, more stable weather. Fishing jigs under a bobber is a productive presentation to catch spawning fish. |
| Largemouth Bass | Fair/Good | Up to 5.5 lbs. | Casting soft plastics, swimbaits and spinner baits around laydown trees and overhanging brush along the shorelines is best. |
| Sunfish | Fair/Good | Up to 8 inches | Nightcrawler pieces vertically fished on a jig head or fished under a bobber around deeper brush. |
| Saugeye | Good | Up to 7 lbs. | Casting shad-imitating swimbaits along deeper, rip rapped shorelines or over areas possessing rapid depth changes to the bottom. Anglers reported catching some nice fish up to 7 or 8 lbs. last week. |
