Wellington City Lake Fishing Report - Updated: 4/12/24

Species Rating Size Baits, Method & Location
Channel Catfish Fair to Good   Shad sides and fresh cut bait on windy shorelines.
Wiper     Few reports this week, but look for wiper on shallow windy points and flats on the warmer days.
Crappie Fair to Good   The deeper brush piles are holding crappie where they can be caught on jigs.  Crappie will be moving shallow for the spawn as the water temps increase.
Saugeye Fair   Jerk baits and flukes along the old and new dam and windy flats.
General Comments
Fish attractors in the form of brushpiles have been added to the lake.  The brushpiles attract and hold a variety of species including crappie, bluegill, flathead catfish, and channel catfish.  You can find a map showing locations and GPS coordinates at https://ksoutdoors.com/fishhabitatmap on the KDWP website.  Zoom in on Wellington City Lake on the map and brushpiles will be marked with the orange dots.  Brushpiles have been added in 2022 and 2024.
