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. Visit the KDWPT homepage and click on the Kansas Crappie Bonanza link to view the video! You can find a preview of the video HERE. KDWPT biologists are conducting a northern pike study at the lake. Be on the lookout for northern pike tagged with small, yellow tags (see picture) near the dorsal fin. If you catch a tagged pike, call Jeff at 620-459-6922. Pike up to 17 lb. were sampled this spring.
White perch have been found in the lake, and they can become a fisheries management nightmare. If you catch a white perch, you must kill it; do not release it back into the water. Also, do not move fish from one body of water to another. To see what a white perch looks like, click HERE. |
