Species | Rating | Size | Baits, Method & Location |
Channel Catfish | Fair | Most in the 13 to 18 inch range | No Report. |
Crappie | Fair | Up to 15 inches | Fishing minnows, or better yet, castnet-caught gizzard shad under a bobber around deeper brush and along deeper rip rapped shorelines has been best. |
Largemouth Bass | Fair | Up to 5.5 lbs. | Casting soft plastics, suspending swimbaits and stick baits around laydown trees and overhanging brush along sun-warmed shore lines. |
Sunfish | Fair/Good | Up to 8 inches | Nightcrawler pieces fished under a bobber around deeper brush. |
Saugeye | Fair | Up to 7 lbs. | Casting shad-imitating swimbaits along lines of cattails, around the fish attractors, or along rip rapped shorelines early and late. |
Trout | Good | 2/lb. average | The 2024/2025 trout season will run from December 1, 2024 to March 31, 2025. The first stocking of the season that consisted of approximately 1,000 trout was conducted 11-25-2024 with 2 stockings remaining for the season. Still fishing various baits such as power bait, worms, marshmallows, and corn, alone or in combination, is popular. Other anglers prefer presenting flys like prince, pheasant tail, and pistol pete nymphs using a fly rod or spin cast rod and casting bubble. Anglers report catching good numbers of fish with limits being relatively common. |

Release all saugeye less than 18 inches and largemouth bass less than 15 inches. 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! | |||
