Largemouth bass angling is typically best in the spring and fall. As springtime water temperatures warm up, bass will move into shallow water areas in preparation for spawning. Spinner baits, rubber worms, crankbaits, and fig/pig combinations work well.

Warm, summer temperatures push bass somewhat deeper during the day and nighttime fishing may be worth a try. Cooler, fall temperatures will trigger bass to move back in the shallow water areas. Fishing success may pick up as bass prepare for winter.

Bluegill can be caught throughout the lake from early spring until fall. Popular methods include wax worms and redworms fished below a bobber. Conditions permitting, ice fishing for bluegill can be productive and add fishing opportunities during the winter months.

Channel catfish angling picks up by mid-June. Night crawlers, chicken livers, or prepared catfish baits work well when fished on the bottom. Night fishing for catfish is a popular method for catfish anglers.

Saugeye can be found shallow in the spring, fall, and winter. Shallow mud or sand flats are good areas to explore as well as shoreline areas with rip-rap. Twister-tail jigs tipped with a minnow or nightcrawler and hopped along the bottom work well.

Catchable rainbow trout can be found throughout the lake soon after stocking. Prepared trout bait, cheese, marshmallows, and corn fished below a bobber or on the bottom with a small hook and split-shot can be used to catch these fish. Small inline spinners also work well.
