Duck lake report

I got home from Duck lake yesterday and the fishing was so so water temps were in the low fifties the average temp was 51 and the warmest water was 55. I was able to get my over all in about 12 hours of fishing I caught 6 bass and about 2 dozen crappie, the crappie were small I am not sure where the the bigger fish have gone my guess is that they were already in prespawn and I had no idea where to look for them. the weather was all over the place I had calm sunny days and sunny day with wind and one day with rain and 30 mile an hour winds. The biggest bass was only 2lbs 12oz. and the rest were over a pound. I just think that the lake needs some stable weather. sorry no pics my camera went on the blits..

P.S. I had the lake all to my self all but one day and there were only 3 other boats......

better then nothing! and first bass of the year i think?

yup I am pretty excited about that, now it is time for more!

King I dont know if you like to fish for trout at duck lake but, In the middle of the lake you have a series of islands and if you troll wedding ring spinners behind a hildebrandt with a little night crawler the trout go crazy. I used to go down there as a kid and all we would do is troll on the far side of the islands and the fish all had darker red meat like a steelhead or salmon. For Crappie we would go all the way to the north if I remember it right but the crappie werent that big. Smitty 58D

the trout fishing is not the same as it used to be I remember pulling tons of trout out of that lake especially in the grand canal but over the last 3 years i have only caught a few and they were not the size that they used to be.

And the north end is where i do most of my crappie fishing as well.

thanks for the info! and keep posting with us!
