Zebra Mussels |
|
|
Zebra mussels can be found attached to rocks lakewide and are expanding their population. Zebra mussel veligers are too small to be seen with the unaided eye and they can be found in boat livewells, minnow buckets, boat bilges, water toys and anything else that is capable of holding even a small amount of water. Be sure to drain all equipment before leaving the lake to avoid moving veligers to other waters. THIS INCLUDES MINNOW BUCKETS, BOAT LIVEWELLS AND BILGES!!!

White Bass |
Slow |
Up to 2 lbs. |
White bass can be caught on points and humps using sassy shad. A few fish have been caught on a jig and nightcrawler combo. Make sure you can identify your catch. For tips on identifying a white bass from a white perch, wiper or striped bass click HERE. |
Wiper |
Fair |
2-14 lbs. Must be 21" to be legal, creel limit 2/day. |
Wiper fishing has been fair using dead white perch and cut baits on points, humps and islands. For tips on identifying wipers, click HERE. Be sure to measure your catch, wipers less than 21" must be released. |
Walleye |
Good |
18 to 30" Must be 21" to be legal, creel limit 2/day. |
Walleye fishing has been good using a jig and night crawler combo on the flats. Lots of short fish are being caught with a jig and crawler. Bigger fish have been caught on white prech on points, humps and the islands. Be sure to measure your catch, walleye less than 21" must be released and the creel limit is 2 per day. |
Crappie |
Slow |
Some 15 inches |
Fishing for crappie has been slow using small jigs around shallow brush. Cheney Reservoir does not have good numbers of crappie, but the ones you catch will be up to 15" in size. |
Channel Catfish |
Good |
3-10 pounds |
Channel catfish are spawning and can be caught around rip rap using shrimp and liver. |
Carp |
Fair-Good |
2 to 4 lb |
Bowfishing for carp should be very good for the next couple of weeks. The lake is 1 foot high and carp are in flooded timber around river and creeks. |
White Perch |
Fair |
Up to 12" |
White perch can be caught from shore using worms. White perch cannot be used as live bait, but they do make a good cut bait. For tips on identifying a white perch from a white bass, wiper or striped bass click HERE. |
| COMMENTS |
Remember to measure the wiper and walleye you catch. Fish may be below the 21" minimum length limit.
Fishing for walleye should be good in 2009 based on fall sampling. We collected good numbers of walleye above the 21" length limit. We also collected 210 walleye that ranged from 8-12" in size, which were from the 2008 stockings. Expect to catch lots of small fish in 2009, with an occassional keeper over 21".
Fishing for wiper will also be very good in 2009. We collected great numbers of fish over the 21" length limit and lots of smaller fish. Good luck fishing in 09.

Small blue cats are being caught by walleye and channel catfish anglers. Individual blue cats continue to grow but are still shorts.
These fish are all below the 35-inch minimum length limit and must be released immediately. Take time to properly identify your catfish catch. Click HERE for information on how to properly identify your catch. |
Wipers |

White bass |
Fair |
up to 15-inch |
White bass are being caught off windblown points and along the dam on jigs, crankbaits, and spinners.
Wipers can be caught along with white bass so it is important to properly identify your catch before putting it on a stringer. Click HERE for tips on identifying wipers. Creel limit on wipers is 2/day. |
White crappie |

up to 4 lbs |
Stinkbaits and crawlers along windy shorelines or liver in the coves. Night crawlers fished in rip rapped areas is also a good bet. |
Walleye |
Fair |
up to 26-inch |
Walleye action has been only fair this week. A few fish are being caught on jig and crawler on the flats in still fairly shallow water (2 to 6 feet deep). Crankbaits, whether casted or trolled, are also producing some walleye. Fish the windy shorelines.
Please practice good handling techniques on the short fish as today's shorts are tomorrow's keepers!!
There is an 18-inch minimum length limit and 5/day creel limit on walleye. |

| General Comments |

We are conducting an angler survey this year at the lake.
A creel clerk will be counting and interviewing anglers, and
you will probably run into him. He will be asking several questions
about your fishing trip. The information we obtain will help
us better manage the fish populations at the lake.
Fishing for largemouth bass should be good this year,
because catch rates were up in our electrofishing samples. We
collected over 100 bass in 1 hour of electrofishing and one bass
weighed 6.7 lbs. The 18" minimum length limit has been changed
to a 13-18" slot limit. This means that bass from
13-18" need to be released back into the water. Anglers
can keep up to 5 bass per day that are less than 13" or
larger than 18". The whole idea behind this slot limit is
to get more smaller bass harvested, because there are too many
little bass and growth is slow. If you have any questions about
the length limit change call Jon Stein at (620) 459-6922.
Fishing for channel catfish should be good this year
as well. We stocked 4,600 catfish last fall and they averaged
about 9 inches in length. We fin clipped all the fish stocked
and will be tracking there growth rates. The fish feeders will
be placed in the lake in late April.
