Fishing Report - Last Update: 6/12/2013

Species	Rating	Size	Baits, Method, & Location
Channel catfish	Fair	10" to 4 lb.	A few surplus channel catfish have been stocked. Mostly 10-inch fish have been stocked, but some large adults (5+ pounds) have also been stocked recently.
Largemouth Bass	Fair	6" to 12"	About 6,000 (5-10") largemouth were stocked in November 2012. More fingerling bass will be stocked in the spring. These fish will grow quickly in the renovated lake and fishing should be exciting for sublegal bass in 2013.
Northern Pike	N/A	N/A	Northern pike fingerlings have been stocked. These fish will grow quickly and will likely be 12-15" this fall and possibly 25-30" next fall.
Bluegill	Fair	3" to 5"	Small bluegill were recently stocked. Most were under 3", but these fish will grow quickly. By late summer, they should provide some angling potential.
General Comments
The lake was renovated in the fall of 2012 and thus has limited angling potential. Some small bass and decent channel catfish have been stocked, but these populations are fairly limited. The lake is now full. KDWPT recently released the “Kansas Crappie Bonanza” video. This 25-minute video covers Kansas crappie fishing during spring, summer, fall, and winter with tips and tactics to make you a better crappie angler.
