Species | Rating | Size | Baits, Method, Location |
---|---|---|---|
channel catfish | very good | 0% 11"-16" 15% 16"-24" 77% 24"-28" 8% 28"-36" | Use a worm, stink bait, or shad sides on windy shoreline and channel breaks. |
largemouth bass | poor | 23% 8"-12" 23% 12"-15" 54% 15"-20" 0% 20"-25" | The main body of the reservoir doesn't have the necessary largemouth bass habitat to support a high-density bass population. However, the flooded timber and clearer water in the backwater section of Walnut Creek produces a fair density bass population. There were 12 bass per hour of electrofishing sampled in the reservoir. The ideal catch rate would be 100 bass per hour. Use a jig, spinner, worm, or crank bait around stumps and brush in river and Walnut Creek. |
white bass | very good | 0% 6"-9" 55% 9"-12" 27% 12"-15" 18% 15"-18" 0% 18"+ | Use plastic jig, imitation shad, or spinner on windy shoreline and rocky points. |
white crappie | very good | 79% 5"-8" 12% 8"-10" 6% 10"-12" 3% 12"-15" 0% 15"+ | Use a jig or minnow on windy shoreline, brush piles, and timber in Toronto Cove, Mann's Cove, and north side of Duck Island. Crappie are feeding on small gizzard shad blown up on shoreline. Cold front will push crappie offshore. |

Fresh cedar tree fish habitat brush piles were installed this winter and can be located by using the link below. Link to USACE reservoir water level: http://www.swt-wc.usace.army.mil/TORO.lakepage.html Size structures are from 2021 fall test netting and 2021 spring electrofishing for largemouth bass.
