The best season for bass fishing is spring when water temperatures reach about 55-60 degrees. Common lures for largemouth bass are plastic worms, spinner baits and crank baits. Crappie are frequently found around rock structure in the main reservoir and the flooded timber in the creek during the spring and fall. Crappie are best caught with jigs or minnows vertically fished around structure. Saugeye fishing will be most successful when using small tackle and fishing slowly. You will be most successful with 6-pound test line or smaller. Saugeye can be caught on crankbaits and spinners, but the most successful method is drift fishing minnows or nightcrawlers on a small jig head. Catfish can be caught using live and prepared baits.
