Fish Status |
Poor | The electrofishing survey indicated that Bluegill growth is poor, as very few individuals exceeded 6 inches in length. Bluegill growth is likely hampered by the presence of Gizzard Shad in the lake. | |
Fair | Channel Catfish are present in the lake. One 18-inch catfish was captured during the 2023 electrofishing survey. | |
Very Good | The 2023 electrofishing survey yielded good numbers of bass across multiple size groups. The largest bass collected was over 20 inches in length. | |
