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 62 bass per hour of electrofishing sampled in Walnut Creek. The ideal catch rate would be 100 bass per hour. Try twister tail jig, spinner, crank bait or plastic worm around stumps in river. |

General Comments |
|||
|
The size structure listed for largemouth bass is from May 2011 electrofishing. The size structure for crappie, white bass, and channel catfish is from October 2011 test netting. KDWPT has contracted a commercial fisherman to remove rough fish from the reservoir. Please be careful when boating and watch for the nets. This is a generalized winter fishing report. More detailed reports will resume in the spring. Click Here for current water level and release rate. Sign up to receive a copy of the Fall River District Fisheries Newsletter. |
