FISH BEING CAUGHT
|
White bass fishing has been very good at times. The best fishing has been in the afternoons.There are still some male walleye in the river, most are running between 14″ and 20″. They must be 15″ to be kept. |
White bass and white perch fishing is very good. Anglers are catching large numbers of both species. Walleye fishing is slow. |
|
BEST BAITS
|
White bass anglers are having the best success with shiners fished below a bobber. Some anglers are catching white bass on small spinner baits and small jigs as well.
The best bait to catch walleye are floating jig heads tied about 18-24 inches above a weight. The amount of weight depends on the amount of flow. At low flow try 3/8 oz weight; at high flow try 3/4 0z weight. Tip the jig with a brightly colored plastic tail–pink, green, yellow–fluorescent colors seem to work the best. |
A variety of baits will work well for white bass including jigs, jigs tipped with minnows, minnows fished under a bobber, or small spinners lures.

The best area has been from the Ballville Dam down to the Sand Docks. |

COMMENTS

White bass fishing should continue to be very good through the month of May.
|
White bass and white perch fishing should continue to be good through the month of May.
Anglers should still be aware that some walleye shorter than the 15-inch minimum length limit are being caught. Do NOT keep any walleye shorter than 15 inches. Take a ruler with you. |
