Crappie |
Fair to Good |
up to 13-inch |
Crappie anglers have been doing quite well recently. Fish have been caught shallow during the warmer days but the cooler temps will push them back off the banks. Jigs and minnows both catching fish. |

|
Channel catfish |
Fair |
up to 4 lb |
On shad and shad guts on windy shorelines. |
||
|
Black bass |
Few recent reports. |
||||
|
White bass |
Fair to Good |
up to 15-inch |
Trolling crankbaits along the dam and south shorelines. Also casting curly tailed grubs and jigs off of the windy rocky points. |
||
|
Wipers |
Fair |
up to 7 pounds |
Same as white bass |
||
|
Walleye |
Slow |
up to 24-inch |
Look for walleye on the north side flats close to the breaks and along the old road. Jig and crawler is a great springtime tactic. Minimum length limit 18 inches. |

General Comments |
|||||
|
The City of Winfield requires additional permits for anglers using the lake. Stop in to the lake office before fishing at the lake. All improved boat ramps have been closed due to the low water conditions. Launching is still possible from shoreline areas. Stop by the main Lake Office for info. If you would like to read or share fishing reports, go to KDWPT Public Fishing Reports. |
