McPherson State Fishing Lake Fishing Report - Updated: 04/08/2019
| Species | Rating | Size | Baits, Method & Location | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Channel catfish | Fair | 1 - 5 lbs. | Fair. Catfishing has been slow/no reports. Try cut bait and worms from the shore. | |
| Crappie | Fair | 8-13" | Fair. Few reports of crappie being caught near the bank and on brush piles. Small chartreuse and pink jigs have been working well. The bite is picking up. | |
| Largemouth bass | Fair | Up to 6 lb. | Fair. Slow, but the warming water temps have the bass in pre-spawn condition looking to move shallow. Try chatterbaits, crankbaits, and softbaits on rocky shorelines. | |
| 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. | |
