Fishing Report

Heads up on Rockport, DEQ has an algae warning on it as of October 5. Stay out of any green or scummy water and keep the dogs out. The park hasn't updated their conditions page since early September, so we don't have a new level number, but it's still low.

Perch and smallmouth have been the main fish. With the cooler weather this week, the trout should start moving shallower too. Perch on small jigs right on the bottom, bass on the rocky points and channel edges. Check the docks and ramp before you bring a boat.

Hot Species

Selected by the Anglers Den team

Rainbow Trout

A widely stocked and naturally reproducing trout known for aggressive feeding, strong runs and its distinctive pink lateral stripe.

Brown Trout

A wary, aggressive trout recognized by its golden-brown body and dark spots. Larger browns often feed heavily on baitfish and are most active in low light.

Smallmouth Bass

A hard-fighting warm-water predator commonly found around rocky shorelines, points and drop-offs. Smallmouth readily strike soft plastics, crankbaits and streamers.

Yellow Perch

A schooling fish recognized by its yellow body and dark vertical bars. Yellow perch feed around vegetation and bottom structure and readily take small jigs and bait.

Largemouth Bass

An ambush predator commonly found near vegetation, submerged wood and protected shoreline cover. Largemouth readily strike soft plastics, jigs and reaction baits.
