Fishing Report - Last Update: 5/10/2012

Species	Rating	Size	Baits, Method, & Location
Bluegill / Redear	Good	6-10"	Try worms, or small jigs and spinners fished slowly along weedlines and structure. Bluegill and redear are now in shallower water to spawn.
Channel catfish	Fair	15-24"	Try shad sides, liver, prepared baits, live bait or worms fished on or near the bottom. The four fish feeders are now operating. KDWP fish samplings have shown that there is a very good channel catfish fishery. Many 2-5 pound fish are available.
Crappie	Slow	8-14 inches	Try minnows or small jigs and spinners fished near trees and structure. Crappie have completed spawning and have moved to deeper water. Bone Creek supports a good crappie population, with some quality-size fish available. New in 2012, the crappie creel limit increased to 20 fish/day. KDWPT has recently released "Kansas Crappie Bonanza”, a 25-minute video covering Kansas crappie fishing during spring, summer, fall, and winter with tips and tactics to make you a better crappie angler.

Largemouth bass	Fair	Mostly 8-16 inch fish.	Try jigs, plastic baits, stick baits or spinners around weedlines and deep-water structure. Most bass have completed spawning and have moved to deeper water.
