SILOAM SPRINGS LAKE STATUS REPORT SUMMARY
LARGEMOUTH BASS: SILOAM SPRINGS LAKE This small,
deep and clear, 58 acre lake has always maintained a strong largemouth
bass population comprised of smaller bass under 2 pounds. However,
in the spring when the larger adults are in the pre spawn condition,
several "lunkers" in the 8 to 9 pound range are caught.
Largemouth bass collected during the 2003 fish population survey
indicated fifty four (54%) of the fish collected were between 8"
and 12". This fish should move into the 12" to 15"
length slot next year and provide good fishing for bass anglers.
There is a 12 to 15 inch slot limit with a three fish per day creel
limit.
