Crappie fishing is good for anglers using small minnows. Best fishing is near the fish attractors and off the pier, early and late in the day. Bass are taking top-water baits, plastic worms and medium minnows, with best success being at sunup and sundown. Those anglers fishing for walleye in the late-evening, are taking fish to five pounds. Bluegills and catfish are taking nightcrawlers, fished in shallow water, almost on the shore.
White perch are active throughout the lake on worms and crickets.
Bass action fair to good. Best action is early and late in the day on plastic worms and crankbaits. Bass are fairly consistent throughout the river, from the rocks in the back to the mouth of the river. Catfish fishing is excellent. Plenty of cats in the 10-15 pound class are caught, along with the smaller fish.
