Webster Reservoir Fishing Information
Species | Rating | Size | Baits, Method, and Location |
---|---|---|---|
Crappie | Fair | 7 to 17 inches | Did have reports of fish being caught on the maintained fish attractors. Would recommend fishing around the north and south shore breakwaters and fish attractors using jigs, slab spoons and jigs with minnows. |
Walleye | Fair | 14 to 28 inches | Did have reports of some fish being caught. Would recommend fishing for them just outside the maintained fish attractors using jigs and slab spoons. They will also be coming into the Dam to spawn; therefore, it would be a good time to cast diving lures, roadrunners and curly tails around dawn and dusk. |
White Bass/Wiper | Fair | 8 to 28 inches | Did have reports of both species being caught around the north and south shore fish attractors and breakwaters using jigs and jigs tipped with minnow. Trolling diving lures could also be productive. |
Catfish | Fair | 12 to 30 inches | Did have reports of catfish being caught up in the shallows using shad, shrimp, gizzards, or stink baits on the bottom. |
Largemouth Bass | Fair | 12 to 22 inches | Did have reports of fish being caught around the maintained fish attractors. |
General Comments | |||
WATER TEMPERATURE- 45° SURFACE ELEVATION- 1877.91 ---- 14.54' below conservation pool The water level is 5.20' lower than it was one year ago at this time. Old Marina and Morel boat ramps are not usable; however, Rock Point, Goose Flats and Lakeview boat ramps are open at this time. Fish cleaning station is currently closed for the winter. A boat cleaning station (CD3) has also been added by the fish cleaning station and should be turned on shortly. Remember it is illegal to release any fish into public water unless it was taken from that water. Please discard leftover bait in a trash can. |
