Fish reported from Oakwood Lake include black crappie, bluegill, chain pickerel, channel catfish, largemouth bass, and yellow perch.

Keep a small jig, minnow or worm close to the bottom when perch are the target on Oakwood Lake.
For Oakwood Lake pickerel, cover weed edges with a flashy moving lure and use a short leader when bite-offs become common.
