Look for big gills near beaver lodges and brush structures during early spring. These panfish often exceed one pound. Pumpkinseed and redbreast sunfish, as well as warmouth, provide additional variety. Channel catfish are coming on strong in Lake Robertson. Channel cats up to 25 inches are commonly caught.
Bullhead catfish are also fairly abundant throughout the lake.
Walleye have also been stocked in this mountain impoundment since the late 1980 s. Although walleye up to 7 pounds have been caught, they are not abundant. Fish attractors, made from red cedar trees, are good locations for bluegill and large bass. Weed bed edges and open pockets within the beds are sure shots for trophy largemouth and heavy bluegill. Look for redear sunfish on old road beds or near structures away from shore.
