I did good out there this summer, multiple times. Fishes it once this winter and caught some nice crappie.
OXYGEN LEVELS AND CLARITY ARE TERRIBLE. Biologists are trying to get the lake back in check, but are predicting it will be a few more years before it is a good fishery.
From what I saw this summer, it’s not as bad as people think. Yes the water is murky, and yes, there’s not many weeds. But I was pleasantly surprised on how well I had done this summer. I’m going to head there this weekend and look for some eyes.
bass cant be that bad of water quality or they would stop stocking. when I hear conflicting stories about a lake, I wonder if some aren't trying to down play it to keep others away. haha bass is one of those lakes it seems. agreed our rivers are better than they used to be Roe. big difference from even 15 yrs ago. seen several pics of 25"ers out of our rivers. tippy, Maumee, Wabash, st marys, stjoe, all sport fishable, if not healthy populations.Bigr, I don't think they need to put them in the Wabash, if you have 50-60 fish days there, like you have posted. lol they could cut back stockings on the lakes that reproduce(like sylvan and crooked ), and stock more test lakes. they don't seem to be detrimental impact, when they are stocked, so it couldn't hurt much to try.[/quote I had to chuckle when reading your first few sentences lol
I didn't know the walleye reproduced on sylvan and crooked. Very cool!
So your seeing/catching walleye smaller than the advanced fingerlings that are stocked ?
