What to Expect at Omary Lake

Fish and Useful Baits at Omary Lake
Fish reported from Omary Lake include black crappie, bluegill, chain pickerel, channel catfish, largemouth bass, and yellow perch.
Bass
For Omary Lake largemouth, use a shallow crankbait or swim jig to locate fish, then slow down with a jig or soft plastic.
Crappie, Perch and Sunfish
Crappie at Omary Lake respond to a small jig or live minnow beside brush and suspended cover. Use a tiny jig or natural bait under a float when fishing Omary Lake for bluegill and related sunfish. A small minnow or worm on a light rig fits yellow perch fishing at Omary Lake.
Chain Pickerel
For Omary Lake pickerel, cover weed edges with a flashy moving lure and use a short leader when bite-offs become common.
A Simple Fishing Plan for Omary Lake
Let water color, wind and the first two bites decide whether to stay shallow or move toward the basin on Omary Lake. Then compare the incoming-water end of Omary Lake with the dam side and any point that reaches the old channel.
When to Fish Omary Lake
Spring at Omary Lake favors warming coves, feeder mouths and protected spawning banks. Once summer heat settles over Omary Lake, work the deepest active cover instead of assuming every fish has moved to the bottom. Windblown points on Omary Lake become worth checking when autumn baitfish move shallow.
