Channel Catfish: Slow. Most are taken in the evenings or early mornings on night crawlers, Bee Jay or shad. Try grasshoppers or crickets during the day. Flathead Catfish: Fair. Goldfish or green sunfish work well as bait for the larger ones, minnows for the two to four pounders. Bullhead Catfish: Fair. Canadian crawlers or channel cat baits work well. Largemouth Bass: Fair. Most bass caught are under the 18 inch length limit and must be returned unharmed. Live minnows, goldfish, plastic worms, spinner baits and other lures work well. Crappie: Fair. Most of the crappie along shore are small (7 inches or less). They are most catchable in the early morning or late evening as the mayfly hatch appears. Live minnows, jigs or mayfly shaped dry flies are recommended. Green Sunfish: Good. Most are small (less than ¼ pound) but they are abundant and easy to catch. A small piece of night crawler or a small jig works well. The small fillets are tasty when fried with breaded shrimp and dipped in horseradish sauce. Dry flies work well especially at dusk. Bluegill Sunfish: Good. Same comments as for green sunfish. Common Carp: Good. Best baits are fermented corn or dough balls. White Amur: Fair. Same comment as for common carp.
