Species	Rating	Size	Baits, Method, and Location
Zebra Mussels are present at Clinton Reservoir Be sure to CLEAN, DRAIN and DRY all equipment that comes in contact with the water to keep from spreading them to another lake.
Current Fishing Conditions
Blue Catfish			35 inch minimum length limit and 5 daily creel limit went into effect January 1, 2016. This regulation was implemented to protect brood fish, so that the population could have a chance to improve.
Smallmouth Bass			18 inch minimum length limit went into effect Jan. 1, 2016. This regulation change makes smallmouth bass regulations the same as those for largemouth bass.
Walleye/Saugeye	Good	1-2 lbs	Fishing conditions have greatly improved with cooler water temperatures. Fish are moving into the shallows at night to feed. Target shallow mudflats or rocky shoreline adjacent to drop offs.
Crappie	Good	0.5-1.5 lbs	Crappie are in their fall pattern. Fish are moving shallow at night and are suspended over deeper water during the day. Jigs and minnow are producing good bites.
Channel Catfish	Fair	0.5-5 lbs	Channel catfish are being caught on a variety of baits including nightcrawlers, chicken liver, and cut bait.
White bass	Fair - Good	0.5-2 lbs	White Bass can be found chasing schools of shad in open water. Fish will transition to shallow flats adjacent to drop offs at dawn and dusk. Shad imitations are producing bites
Wiper	Fair - Good	4-8 lbs	Wiper can be found chasing shad schools in open water. Look for fish busting shad on the surface. These fish can occasionally be caught using topwater lures at dawn and dusk.
Black Bass	Fair - Good	1-5 lbs	Largemouth Bass can be found in coves with timber. Smallmouth can be found on rocky shorelines near the dam. Soft plastics are producing bites.

General Comments
Recent high discharge has spurred several good reports of multi-species action along the dam and in the spillway. Water Level: As of October 9th, Clinton Reservoir was 0.5ft below normal pool level with low discharge of 7 cfs. Most recent water level conditions can be found at the following website: https://www.nwk.usace.army.mil/Locations/District-Lakes/Clinton-Lake/Daily-Lake-Info-2/ Invasive Species: Be sure to Clean, Drain, and Dry your boat when you leave, to keep from spreading Zebra mussels to other lakes. 12 Georgia cubes were placed near N 38.953 W 95.38779, along with 6 other cubes placed near N 38.93852 W 95.39023. These locations should provide good opportunities for bank anglers in the near future.
