Tuttle Creek Fishing Report - Updated: 08/23/2018
| Species | Rating | Size | Baits, Method, and Location |
|---|---|---|---|
| Crappie | Fair | 1/2 to 2 pounds | The crappie population has been improving the last few years with sampling last fall producing the most fish over 10 inches in five years. In addition, the future looks bright as the 2017 year-class was the largest recorded in 25 years. Fish are in their summer pattern and are scattered along rocky shorelines or in brush. A good starting point is 8 to 12 feet down with minnows. |
| White Bass | Fair to Slow | 1/2 to 2 pounds | White bass numbers continue to be low due to poor spawning success the last five years. Main lake points has been producing some fish. |
| Catfish | Fair to Good | Up to 40 pounds | The lake and the connected river system maintains a good channel catfish population and is one of the best places around to catch channel over 8 pounds. Saw plenty of big channels up shallow this week while sampling. The blue catfish population is finally starting to get established. The vast majority of the fish are below 28 inches and not sexually mature yet. To protect these fish until they have a chance to spawn, a new 35-inch minimum length limit is in place starting January 1, 2018. The plan is to only have a length limit on blue catfish for a few years until the population can sustain itself through natural reproduction. Please check any blue catfish for a yellow tag in its back as we have been tagging some to collect more information on the species in Tuttle Creek Lake. It is up to you if you wish to release the fish or harvest it (if legally applicable), but please report the tag number and the general location of the catch to (785) 539-7941 or ely.sprenkle@ks.gov A big THANK YOU to all who report their catch! |
| Largemouth Bass | Slow | 1 to 5 pounds | Coves in southern third of the Reservoir have some locally good largemouth bass populations. The McIntyre Cove area tends to produce the best fishing. |
| Saugeye | Fair | Up to 6 pounds | Record numbers of young saugeye sampled in the lake in 2017. These fish have started reaching the 15-inch minimum length limit and anglers are beginning to take more home. Saugeye can be caught casting or trolling crankbaits. The river pond has been steady for saugeye fishing, with anglers dragging a nightcrawler or casting jigs & crankbaits. Starting in 2017, the minimum length limit does not apply to saugeye in the River Pond or at the "tubes". The 15-inch minimum length limit is still in effect in the Reservoir. |
| General Comments | |||
| Zebra mussels were found in Tuttle Creek on August 16, 2017. This makes the Reservoir, River Pond and Rocky Ford as designated Aquatic Nuisance Species waters. Fish may not be transported alive from ANS designated waters. To help prevent the spread of invasive species, please CLEAN, DRAIN & DRY all equipment when changing water bodies and please do not move fish you have caught or your bait.
