Kanopolis Reservoir Fishing Report - Updated: 10/02/2020
| Species | Rating | Size | Baits, Method, and Location |
|---|---|---|---|
| Channel Catfish | Good | 16 - 21" | Channel Cats are being caught on cut bait in the shallow areas and even from the bank. Many from 1 to 4 lbs. |
| Crappie | Good | 10 to 14 inches | Few reports of crappies but some are being caught on brush piles. Try live minnows or 1/16 and 1/32 oz. jigs with curly-tailed grubs or other small soft baits. |
| Trout | Trout will be stocked for the November opener. Stay tuned. | ||
| Saugeye | Fair | 14 - 22" | Fair. The Saugeye bite has picked up and keepers are accounting for 1/3 of the angler catch. Some are still being caught along the river channel breaks in the early morning and late evening but the bite is starting to move shallower. Try swimbaits and shallow jerkbaits. |
| White Bass | Good | All sizes - up to 17 inches | Good. Folks are catching a lot of whites throughout the reservoir. Try areas from 4-8 feet along points. Chartreuse grubs, castmasters, and small jigs work well. |
| Wiper | Fair. | All sizes | Fair. Several reports of 3-8 lb. fish being caught near the river channel and Loder's point area. Try 1/8 oz. jigs with swimbaits. |
| General Comment | |||
| Elevation: Below conservation pool. The south boat ramp is the only accessible ramp. Be careful and watch for sediment along the point to the west and underwater concrete on the east side. Water Temperature: 63-65 Current lake elevation and water temperature is available on the location page linked to this fishing report. It is updated daily by the Corps of Engineers. | |||
