Fish Status |
Very Good | This population is always going to have its challenges competing for food resources with Gizzard Shad. Bluegill ranged from 2.4-7.9”. Harvest by anglers will improve this Bluegill fishery. | |
Good | Two Channel Catfish were collected, ranging from 16.9-18.9”, the largest being just under 2lbs. It’s not uncommon to get a small sample of Channel Catfish as they often inhabit deeper waters outside the range of our sampling effectiveness during the daytime. IDNR periodically stocks Channel Catfish. | |
Good | Largemouth bass are doing well in this lake. In 2017, 43 largemouth bass ranging from 3.5-20.1” were collected. Over 60% exceeded 15”, and 21% exceeded 18”. Gizzard Shad and Bluegill are providing a great forage base for largemouth bass. | |
Average | Five White Crappie were collected ranging from 6.7-8.3”. Anglers are encouraged to harvest white crappie so this population does not overpopulate. | |
