Crappie - We found good numbers of fair sized crappie in our fall netting - lots more than in the past few years. We also have a VERY strong 2008 year class coming on!!! They will be moving to the deeper brushpiles now so fish jigs and slab spoons in those areas - the marina cove has been good with the recent ice cover. They were catching good numbers of crappie from boats off the Loder's and Kimbel's brushpiles when it was warm.

Rainbow Trout - We stocked 1400 trout on Jan 21 in the 5 new pools we constructed this summer along with the lower big pool. We stocked 2800 small brown trout on last fall and we are hoping that some of them will carry over thru next summer. Please throw them back if you catch them!! We are running a creel survey here too so plan to be interviewed by the creel clerk - her name is Vicky. We have put up some signs explaining our brown trout experiment so plan to read those if you have time.The next trout stocking is scheduled for mid-Feb - we will be stocking 1400 rainbows then. Baits of choice are worms, Power Bait, cheese, corn, marshmellows, small spinners, and flies. The trout seem to be dispersing throughout the pools but reports are that the fly fishing anglers are still having good luck.

Walleye - Winter fishing finds them around the brushpiles and along the edges of the river channel. Ice off.

White Bass - The whites will move into the brushpiles for the winter and they often tend to stack up in the mouth of the marina cove. Slab spoons and tailspinners will be the best baits right now. Smaller white jigs might work too. Ice is off.
