Kidney Lake FAQs

What is a simple way to start fishing for black crappie at Kidney Lake?

Fish a small jig or minnow around wood, weeds, and sharp little drops; make short moves after each pass.

What does the 21 feet deepest point mean when fishing Kidney Lake?

Treat 21 feet as the deepest point, not the automatic fishing depth; start near cover and move deeper only when bites or bait give a reason; give low-light water a slower bottom pass.

What does the stocking history mean at Kidney Lake?

It confirms that channel catfish were released, but it does not prove that fish are now common or easy to catch.
