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. Nice sized bass are available but fishing conditions are tough with the turbid water conditions. |
| channel catfish | Fair-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 | Fair | up to 14" | Look for crappie near structure in deeper water using live bait and jigs with various plastics. |
