Fish Status |
Fair | Although present in the lake, no black crappie were collected in the 2024 survey. There are no size or creel limits for crappie. | |
Fair | Keeper-sized bluegill are between 6-7 inches. No bluegill over 8 inches were collected in the 2024 survey. There are no size or harvest limits for sunfish. | |
Excellent | Eighteen channel catfish (14-20 inches) were collected in the 2024 survey. The channel catfish population is enhanced by annual stocking of channel catfish when available. Site Regulation: Six fish per day creel limit. | |
Fair | Largemouth bass were collected at a rate of 202 bass/hr in the 2024 annual survey. Only 4% of the bass collected were over 14 inches in length. Anglers are encouraged to harvest bass below 14 inches to improve bass growth rates and body condition. If the number of smaller bass (<14 inches) is reduced, more bass will grow into the protected 14-18 inch slot length limit. This would result in greater numbers of bass over 14 inches being present in Jones Lake. | |
