Weekly fishing reports will return in February. Below are some hints for fishing during the winter and early spring.
Boat lanes have been cut to allow for easier access to different parts of the lake, but be aware that IDLE SPEED IS REQUIRED in these areas. Channels are marked with red/green markers for main channels and gold markers for side channels.
| Bass | Largemouth bass are often caught during the winter by fishing slowly with natural colored soft plastics lures, large jigs, and jigging spoons. Also, try suspending jerkbaits, shad raps, and lipless crankbaits (a.k.a. rattletraps) off the levee during sunny days. |
| Crappie | Crappie often suspend in deeper water, around 10 - 15 feet. Fish will often be found in the main creek channel and around cover. Try using minnows or white colored jigs to catch these fish. |
| Bream | Bream fishing can be slow during the colder months, but try using crickets and redworms around brushtops in 5 - 10 ft. of water |
| Catfish | Catfish can be caught on liver or cool-cat worms fished on the bottom. The creek along the nature trail can produce catfish. Fishing along the dam or from the pier at the boat ramp is also popular |
