Game and Fish biologists surveyed the lake at Dead Horse Ranch State Park on April 25 and found several good-sized largemouth bass as well as channel catfish, bluegill and green sunfish. Try using small plastic jigs, plastic worms, or small spinnerbaits near deeper cover. Catfish were last stocked May 31. The catfish bite has been fair in the evening. Bluegills are very abundant, but most are small. This is a great opportunity to teach kids how to fish. Try using a #12 hook with a small piece of worm under a bobber and you should have success. While the crappie numbers are up a little, most are small. Look for the crappie fishing to be good late this year or next year.
