Zebra Mussels |
Adult Zebra Mussels were found 7/31/08 at Lake Afton. The zebra mussels reproduce during the warmer summer months and veligers (larval zebra mussels) are present in the water column. Zebra mussel veligers are too small to be seen with the unaided eye and they can be found in boat livewells, minnow buckets, boat bilges, water toys and anything else that is capable of holding even a small amount of water. Be sure to drain all equipment before leaving the lake to avoid moving veligers to other waters. THIS INCLUDES MINNOW BUCKETS, BOAT LIVEWELLS AND BILGES!!! Click HERE to learn how to prevent the spread of zebra mussels. REMEMBER!! Zebra Mussels are also present in Clearwater Creek below the spillway! |

White Perch |
Fair |
Up to 1 lb |
|||||||||
|
Channel Catfish |
Fair |
1-3 lbs |
In the cooler weather months channel cat can be caught on a variety of baits such as livers, stinkbait, and shrimp. Drifting and fishing with shad sides or small, whole shad has proven to be very productive. If fishing from shore try off of jetties or near any rocky or woody areas. |
||||||||
|
Saugeye |
Fair |
As the water cools saugeye tend to push shad into shallower water. Try casting shad colored crankbaits and plastics near rocky shorelines. If fishing from a boat, using slab spoons has proven to be productive in the cooler months. |
|||||||||
|
Largemouth Bass |
Poor |
Up to 3 pounds |
When fishing for largemouth bass in the fall and winter, try jigs, plastic baits, spinner baits, or crank baits fished around structures or along weed lines |
||||||||
|
Crappie |
Fair |
Up to 10 inches |
Crappie tend to congregate in large schools as the water cools. Fish around brushpiles and creek channel dropoffs with small jigs or spoons. |
||||||||
|
Bluegill Sunfish |
Fair |
Up to 1 lb |
With cooler water, fish for sunfish slowly around structures and weed lines. It is best to use worms or small jigs this time of year. |
