Species

Rating

Size

Baits, Method, & Location

LM Bass

Fair

0.5-4 lbs

Spring electrofishing indicated a high density largemouth bass population. Most fish were under 15 inches, although a few larger fish are available. Try using spinnerbaits fished near fallen trees for largemouth bass.

Bluegill

Fair

Up to 0.33 lbs

Fall test netting indicated a moderate abundance of bluegill. Most fish were under 8 inches, but some larger fish are available to anglers. Livebait under a bobber fished along the jetties can offer good bluegill fishing.

Channel Cat

Fair

1-5 lbs

Insufficient numbers of channel catfish were captured during fall netting to evaluate the channel catfish population. Try using shad sides fished along windswept banks for catfish.
