Blewett falls lake

Hey guys just wondering if anyone fishes the lake for crappie I'm gonna be moving close to there in 2 weeks and just wanting some info on it th thanks in advance

I used to fish it, there is a creek on the left, with a large bay upstream of the landing, also a large bay on left after that upstream. Also up further on right is a shallow bay that should also be good if they are spawning.

Spring and fall concentrate in the creeks and in the summer concentrate along river channel. Never fished it in the winter. Be careful boating, it has a lot of log jams below the surface and in the middle of the lake on the upper end. If you have a bigger boat you'll have to use the ramp on the lower end. Kayaks, canoes and small boats can be put in off Grassy Island Road.

After you have moved and settled in shoot me a PM, I fish there a couple of times a year in a kayak.

Thanks fishingman for the Info.
Ncnat I def will give u holler hanvt had a chance to put the slayer in a lake is the log jAms and current as bad as ppl has made it out to be I'm moving to laurel hill so I'm not exactly sure where I'll be putting in

If the dam is open there is a good current pulling through the lake, other wise it's not bad. From Laurel Hill it's about the same to either ramp.

Ok sweet I'll let you know when I get settled in and ready to head out

It used to be one of the best fisheries in this area. Real nice fish and a good amount of them, but the internet took its toll and the locals figured out where they were spawning and hammered them pretty good for a few years. Still some nice eaters in there. They drop the water a lot during the day sometimes and as Nat said there is some nasty stuff lurking just below the surface. I envy you to be moving close to Blewett. It is a lot of fun trying to figure the little pond out but that's half the fun to me. It changes about as quick as anywhere I've fished.

I should also mention since your moving close to there about the good bream and catfish fishing. If your in the right spot at the right time you could make a tournament bass fisherman cry.

How's the top wAter bite and is there white bass in there? Oh the shad run hicks and whites when do they usually run april?

I can't answer any of those questions.

Shad will probably start showing up downstream of the dam soon and be there through May. Good run of them but be careful if boating downstream as there are lots of shoals.

Thanks todobien if I do it .ight be out of the yak when I figure out dam times for water flow

Fair number of folks fish from the catwalk on the bottom of the power house.

I bet a float trip from the powerhouse down to the hwy 74 ramp would be fun at the right water level.

Also seems like the old river channel below the dam would be an interesting place to fish when some water is coming over the dam but most through the powerhouse and out the tailrace.

Blewett does have white bass. I've caught a few in Fall of the year.

Nice I wanna catch one bad

Us to have some nice crappie in there
