| Species | Rating | Size | Baits, Method, Location |
| Black Bass | Fair | Up to 6 lbs. | Fish can be caught casting soft plastics, chatterbaits, ned rigs, and topwater plugs or poppers around shoreline structure, especially early and late. Casting shad imitating swimbaits over shallow structure such as rock piles and road beds can be good too. |
| Channel Catfish | Good | Up to 12 lbs. | Still fishing cut bait on rod and reel or on set lines on large shallow flats and points in 12 to 15 feet of water. |
| Crappie | Fair/Good | Up to 15 inches | Vertically fishing jigs, minnows, or cast net-caught shad over the fish attractors has been best. |
| Walleye | Fair/Good | Up to 28 inches | Vertically fishing slab spoons and trolling or casting crankbaits like flicker shads over main lake points and other structure. |
| White Bass/Wipers | Good | Whites up to 17 inches Wipers up to 13.5 lbs. | Locating schools of white bass and/or wipers with electronics and vertically fishing slab spoons has been increasingly productive. Cove 4 west point north of the Bluffs, North Shore Cabin main lake points, and the lower end of Page Creek Cove are all good areas to start looking for fish. Also, casting shallow-running or topwater shad imitations over windswept, shallow points and other shallow, hard bottomed structures in the morning or evening. |
| WATER TEMPERATURE-55 degrees F SURFACE ELEVATION- 2122.38 ft. above MSL-21.62 ft. below conservation pool ATTENTION: An established zebra mussel population has been documented at this water making Cedar Bluff an ANS designated water. With this designation, regulations are in effect primarily aimed at discouraging water containing microscopic zebra mussel larvae from leaving the property and establishing in new waters. Any time one leaves the reservoir it is best to clean mud, vegetation, or attached zebra mussel adults off of boats and other equipment, drain any thing on a boat or other equipment that holds water, and allow boats 01d other equipment to dry completely before using them at another body of water. It is now illegal to use wild-caught bait from Cedar Bluff at any other water. Live fish are not to be taken off the property. And all livewells and bilges must be drained prior to leaving the property. It is illegal to release fish into public water unless it was taken from that water. So please discard any leftover bait in a trash can. | |||
