Kirwin Reservoir Fishing Report -
Species | Rating | Size | Baits, Method, and Location |
---|---|---|---|
Crappie | Fair | 7 to 17 inches | No Reports because No boats allowed from October 1 to April 1, 2024. Would recommend fishing the north and south shore fish attractors using jigs and jigs tipped with minnows when boats are allowed back on April 1. Could also possibly catch some off the Dam using jigs and minnows. |
Walleye | Fair | 10 to 29 inches | No Reports. However, walleye should be moving into the Dam to spawn. Therefore, should get those roadrunners and crankbaits out. |
White Bass/ Wiper | Good | 10 to 28 inches | No Reports. |
Catfish | Fair | 10 to 30 inches | No Reports |
Largemouth Bass | Fair | 12 to 22 inches | No Reports |
