This lake is used year-round for boating and fishing with an increase in water ski activity during warmer months. Boat docks, lily pads, moss and drift logs hold fish most of the year, but ski-wave action makes most fishing difficult in warm months. Light-colored plastic worms are a preferred artificial bait. Crappie locate around boat docks and lily pads most of the year and can be taken on minnows and small jigs. Catfish, including channels, yellows and some blues, are featured at 4-H. Channel catfish spawn in spring while yellows wait for warmer weather.
Skiers make trotlining difficult except at night and in cold weather.
Channels take stink and blood baits. Yellows prefer cut baits. Blues want live perch.
