Hi All-

Missouri guy here who got invited to go on a public land turkey hunt the weekend of 4/13 near Milford and looking for some advice. I've not been to the area before and searching the forum here it looks like Milford is hit or miss when it comes to crappie fishing. I am used to fishing Truman/LOZ here in MO and was curious if you all thought it would be worth pulling the boat out there a couple of hours or should we just concentrate on the Turkey hunt? I am not a experienced walleye fisherman but it looks like from the KDWP site there could be some good fishing on the dam? I've got the chance to head out early as well and spend Wed-Sun there so might get some good time on the water or in the woods. Hoping for warm weather!

PS-

Still working on getting my bearings on the lake, but from KDWP does this sound about right-

The state park is a popular destination for anglers eager to experience the excellent fishing available in Milford Reservoir. Walleye concentrate along the face of the dam in early April to spawn, then move to the flats at Farnum Creek and mud points near School Creek. Nearly all of the brushy and rocky coves contain crappie and largemouth bass, but coves in the Rolling Hills and Curtis Creek areas are traditional hot spots for crappie. White bass and catfish are plentiful in a variety of locations, and smallmouth bass frequent the face of the dam, as well as rocky points in the lower half of the lake.
