Post by: Slab killer on Nov 19, 2014, 02:17 PM: I have been fishing it for 4 years. The size never really changes

Post by: mjmeyer on Nov 20, 2014, 04:47 AM: The lake needs a major predator like Musky, Northern Pike or a major ice fishing tournament where you weigh everything and up the limit to 50 or 100. High population and low predation has stunted the fish.

Title: Re: Volga lake
Post by: crappie98 on Feb 22, 2015, 06:09 PM: Fished Friday and Saturday. Friday I had my limit of crappies and a 9.5" perch in two hours. Saturday was SLOWER. 4 of us fished for 3 hours and kept 21 crappies and a gill. Most the gills are 7-9", but they need to be kept. Friday my limit of crappies and the perch filled a quart sized freezer bag so no complaints here!

Post by: crappie98 on Mar 02, 2015, 06:44 PM: Crappies are all 6-9". Good luck finding bigger ones. They need to be cleaned out. With that being said PLEASE TAKE A LIMIT WITH YOU EVERY TIME YOU FISH THIS LAKE!!!!
Title: Re: Volga lake
Post by: hawk56 on Mar 02, 2015, 06:49 PM: Ashamed somewhat but I was with my 85 year old dad and he wanted fish. I knew there had been a problem. So we did.
Title: Re: Volga lake
Post by: huntneiowa on Mar 06, 2015, 07:12 AM: Heading there today, to check it out. Hope to find some bigger crappie but one old guy told me to take my limit clean the biggest ones and freeze the little ones whole and in spring put one under every tomatoe plant in garden.
Title: Re: Volga lake
Post by: crappie98 on Mar 06, 2015, 09:27 PM: Was there yesterday. Bite was good till 11am then really slowed up. Between two of us we took 43 crappie and 2 perch.
