Clinton Reservoir Fishing Report - Updated: 03/17/2023
| 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 | Good | Up to 35 lbs | Fish can be found in shallow flats near the river channel. Fish are often concentrated on wind blown areas feeding on winter kill shad. Cut shad is the preferred bait in spring. A 35-inch minimum length limit applies. Practice safe catch and release. |
| Walleye/Saugeye/Sauger | Good | 1-2 lbs | Fish are staging in preparation for spawning. As water temperature and day length increase, fish will move up shallow to spawn. Target rocky shorelines and along the dam during the early morning and late evening. Slow moving crankbaits or jigs will produce bites. |
| Crappie | Fair - Good | 0.5-1.5 lbs | Fish are breaking off from their winter patterns. They are more scattered as they begin to stage near spawning areas. Weather patterns can greatly influence fishing success and fish location. |
| Channel Catfish | Fair | 0.5-5 lbs | Channel Catfish can be caught using a variety of baits including nightcrawlers, chicken liver, and cut bait. Fish will migrate up rivers and creeks in relation to high precipitation events. |
| White bass | Good | 0.5-2 lbs | White Bass are staging near rivers and creeks in preparation for their spring spawning run. Fish will migrate into rivers and creeks in relation to high precipitation events. Typically, late March and early April is a good time to find White Bass in the these areas. |
| Wiper | Good | 4-8 lbs | Wiper and White Bass have similar patterns this time of year. |
| Largemouth/Smallmouth Bass | Poor - Fair | 1-5 lbs | Bass fishing is slow until water temperatures warm in mid to late spring. |

| General Comments | |||
| Spillway (below Clinton Dam): Recent high discharge has spurred several good reports of multi-species action in the spillway. Please properly dispose of Invasive Carp and do not release them alive. Water Level and Discharge: As of March 17th, Clinton Reservoir was near normal pool level. In early March, 200 cfs was released for several days. Water releases have been dropped back to normal (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 prevent the spread of Zebra mussels. Do not transport live bait captured from Clinton Reservoir. Fish Habitat: 20 Crappie jacks were placed near Bloomington West Park and should provide good habitat for shore fishing. | |||
