Due to the threat of Quagga mussels, there is a ban on private water craft and equipment. Restricted equipment includes; private boats, canoes, kayaks, float tubes, trolling motors, fish finders, anchors, and other equipment that contacts the water.
The bass bite is solid with the fish in various stages of the spawn. Largemouth Bass can be found around structure and respond well to crawdads, frog poppers, and dark colored plastics.
Crappie are also more active and are being caught on jigs and live Golden Shiners either in tight to shore or by boaters trolling for them.
The first catfish plant of the season is scheduled for May 10th. Catfish can be found throughout the lake and bite well on cut mackerel or chicken liver, as well as dough-bait.
