Yates Center - South Owl Fishing Report -
| Species | Rating | Size | Baits, Method & Location |
|---|---|---|---|
| Largemouth bass | SLOW | 1-5 lbs. | Football jigs, vibrating jigs, Texas-rigged plastics or squarebill crankbaits worked near rocky banks or water willow. Topwater baits near the same habitat may also be productive. Nice sized bass are available but fishing conditions are tough with the turbid water conditions. |
| channel catfish | Good | 1/2-15 lbs | Using shad sides livers or other prepared baits on wind blown banks should get a few bites. |
| Walleye | No reports | 10-24" | |
| crappie | SLOW | up to 14" | Look for crappie near structure in deeper water using live bait and jigs with various plastics. |
