At 24.95 acres, Deep Creek Dam is small enough to fish methodically but large enough for one shoreline to differ from another.

Fish and Useful Baits at Deep Creek Dam

Fish reported from Deep Creek Dam include black crappie, bluegill, common carp, largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, walleye, and yellow perch. Brown trout, channel catfish, and rainbow trout are also stocked in Deep Creek Dam.

Bass

When largemouth bass hold tight to cover on Deep Creek Dam, a compact jig or weedless worm is more useful than repeated open-water casts. Rocky points on Deep Creek Dam suit a grub, tube or compact crankbait when smallmouth are the target.

Crappie, Perch and Sunfish

A soft-plastic minnow or live minnow placed beside cover is a sound crappie approach on Deep Creek Dam. For sunfish on Deep Creek Dam, keep a cricket or tiny jig close to weed edges and shaded wood. For Deep Creek Dam yellow perch, work a light jig slowly along the first firm-bottom break.

Walleye and Larger Predators

Low-light walleye fishing on Deep Creek Dam calls for shallow crankbaits, while daylight favors jigs on deeper structure.

A Simple Fishing Plan for Deep Creek Dam

Pick one kind of cover and fish it carefully, then compare it with a second cover type before moving far on Deep Creek Dam. Then check the original creek route, the dam end and any point on Deep Creek Dam that reaches toward deeper water.

When to Fish Deep Creek Dam

On Deep Creek Dam, spring fish often move onto protected banks before the open basin warms. Summer fishing on Deep Creek Dam is usually best at low light, beside shade or along the outside edge of healthy cover. During fall at Deep Creek Dam, revisit creek mouths and main points with baitfish-sized lures.
