Fishing is generally fair.
Crappie fishing is good during March and April. Bass, bream, and catfish fishing is only fair to poor. Wapanocca Lake does not have a natural inlet for water to run in and through the lake to flush the nutrient load. This results in nutrient overload which affects PH and oxygen of the water and consequently is detrimental to the fish. The fluffy organic matter on the lake bottom also prevents ideal spawning success.
