Species	Rating	Baits, Method, & Location
Zebra Mussels		Zebra mussels were verified in Winfield City Lake in December 2006. Lake users should follow recommended control practices found HERE . Be sure to drain all equipment before leaving the lake to avoid moving veligers to other waters. THIS INCLUDES MINNOW BUCKETS AND BOAT LIVEWELLS AND BILGES!!!
Crappie	Fair	Crappie were beginning to head to the shallow spawning areas when the weather was warm. A few more days of warm weather will be required to recover from this late winter storm that is currently in the area.
Channel catfish	Fair	A few cats being caught on shad sides or stinkbaits.
Black bass		Few recent reports
White bass		Few recent reports
Wipers		Wiper will seek out warm water this time of the year and are often found in shallow areas in the backs of coves or along shallow flats.
Walleye	Fair	The spawn is done at the lake. Walleye will be hard to find for a couple weeks until they hit the flats and again become more active. Trolling larger crankbaits is a good technique but a jig and crawler is hard to beat once the fish arrive on the flats. Minimum length limit 18 inches.
