| Species | Rating | Sizes Possible | Baits, Method, & Location |
| Crappie | No report | Up to 12 inches | Look for crappie around brush and vegetation. Anglers should target the brush piles and other submerged structure with minnows and jigs or nearby points and drop offs where pre-spawn crappie might stage. Anglers are encouraged to harvest high numbers of crappie to help maintain a desirable level. Harvest regulations include 50/day creel limit. |
| Channel Catfish | No report | Most in the 1 - 2 lb size range | Fish can be caught all over the lake. Try shad sides, shad gizzards, shrimp, nightcrawlers, and chicken liver. Harvest regulations are 5/day creel limit. |
| Largemouth bass | No report | Up to 4 lbs | Fish are in typical summer pattern. Fish can be caught around any aquatic vegetation, off the rocky jetties, and around the overhanging trees in the water. Focus on submerged wood in the vegetation. Try topwaters early and late and wacky worms, Senkos, Ned Rigs, spinnerbaits, roadrunners, and crankbaits during mid day. Harvest regulations include a 13 - 18 inch slot length limit and 5/day creel limit. |
