Fishing Report - Last Update: 6/18/2013

Species	Rating	Size	Baits, Method, & Location
channel catfish	good	27% 11"-16" 34% 16"-24" 37% 24"-28" 2% >28"	Worms, stink bait, or shad sides at mouth of river and outlet.
largemouth bass	poor	39% 8"-12" 26% 12"-15" 35% 15"-20" 0% >20"	The main body of the reservoir doesn't have the necessary largemouth bass habitat to support a high density bass population. However, the flooded timber and clearer water in the backwater section of Walnut Creek produces a fair density bass population. There were 17 bass per hour of electrofishing sampled in Walnut Creek. The ideal catch rate would be 100 bass per hour. Jig, spinner, worm, or crank bait around stumps in river.
white bass	good	2% 6"-9" 55% 9"-12" 27% 12"-15" 16% 15"-18"	Plastic shad, jig, spinner or immitation shad crank bait trolled on mudflats.
white crappie	good	76% 5"-8" 5% 8"-10" 8% 10"-12" 11% 12"-15" 1% 15"+	Jig or minnow along rocks and stumps in Mann's Cove, Toronto Point Cove, and north side of Duck Island.
