McPherson State Fishing Lake Fishing Report - Updated: 06/21/2019
| Species | Rating | Size | Baits, Method & Location | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Channel catfish | Good | 1 - 5 lbs. | Good. Catfishing has picked up. They're biting on worms, liver, cut bait near the boat ramp and near the dam in 1-8' of water. | |
| Crappie | Fair | 8-13" | Fair. The crappie bite is slow but consistent. Try using 1/16 oz. jigs with pink or chartreuse grubs in 3-10 feet of water near or within brush or pvc cubes. | |
| Largemouth bass | Fair | Up to 6 lb. | Fair. Slow, but the morning and evening bite is good on topwater frogs and texas-rigged soft plastics. Bluegill-colored spinnerbaits are good on windy days. | |
| Saugeye | Poor | 15-26" | Poor. Only a few Saugeye have been reported. Try dragging chartreuse, white, or pink jigs tipped with an earthworm around points. Small, deep-running crankbaits should produce as well. Fish slow and on the bottom towards evening and at night. Remember) The minimum length limit has changed from 18" to 21" and only 2 fish can be kept per day. | |
