Fishing Outlook
Largemouth Bass
Fair
A total of 68 Largemouth Bass were collected ranging from 50 – 395 mm (2.0 – 15.6 inches), with 9 of those fish over Stock size (200 mm; 7.1 inches). This survey met the minimum required number of fish of Stock size (n = 20) to quantify population demographics as set forth in the Lake Management Plan (LMP). The PSD and RSD-14 were not within the target ranges with the PSD being over and the RSD-14 being under. A higher PSD and a lower RSD-14 value may be an indicator of slow growth due to an overabundance of small sized fish. Body condition seems to corroborate this, with relative weight values being under the 90th percentile range.
Bluegill
Poor
Only one Bluegill was collected with a length of 83 mm (3.3 inches). This survey did not meet the minimum required number of Stock size fish (n = 30) to accurately quantify population demographics as set forth in the Lake Management Plan (LMP).
