The best baits are topwater lures and purple, blue and black artificial worms. Black crappie fishing is fair throughout the year with the best catches taken on live minnows drifted in open water. Bluegill fishing is excellent. Most fish are taken by trolling small spinners in open water or by fishing live crickets near shoreline vegetation.
Fish taken here include largemouth bass, black crappie, bluegill and redear sunfish.
Largemouth bass fishing is outstanding during early spring. February and March are the best producing months. Top fishing can be had using float-diving lures and purple, blue, black and motor oil colored plastic worms. Black crappie fishing is good during March but is very slow the remainder of the year. The best bait is live minnows fished approximately three feet deep in open water.
