Fishing is starting to get into typical late spring/early summer patterns. Try for bluegill using small jigs, or a cricket or piece of worm under a bobber. Largemouth bass should fall for topwater baits early & late and plastic baits, spinnerbaits, jigs and crankbaits during the day. Try for crappie using small jigs and minnows along the rocks, cattails and brushpiles. Try for channel catfish by using shad sides, stinkbait or liver. Walleye are pretty shallow right now along the rocks. Try for them using crankbaits or by using a jig nightcrawler or minnow combination drifted with the wind. Try for all species on the sunny and windy banks/points.
Release all largemouth bass and walleye less than 15 inches.

refilled but there are probably some bullheads and small crappie.
Try for them using worms. With the warmer temperatures, fishing
should begin to improve. Crappie should be coming to the shallows
in preparation to spawn. Try for them using small jigs and minnows
along the rocks and brushpiles. |
