Fish species in DuBois Reservoir

DuBois Reservoir is a reservoir in Susquehanna County, but a dependable surface-area figure was not found. Dependable maximum-depth and storage-volume figures were not found for DuBois Reservoir, so neither should be estimated from a similarly named lake.

What to Expect at DuBois Reservoir

Without trustworthy acreage or depth figures for DuBois Reservoir, the safest approach is to read the water in front of you instead of assuming it fishes like another lake with the same name.

Fish and Useful Baits at DuBois Reservoir

Fish reported from DuBois Reservoir include black crappie, bluegill, channel catfish, largemouth bass, and yellow perch.

Bass

When largemouth bass hold tight to cover on DuBois Reservoir, a compact jig or weedless worm is more useful than repeated open-water casts.

Crappie, Perch and Sunfish

Crappie anglers on DuBois Reservoir should count the jig down beside brush until the holding depth becomes clear. A small float, light line and a piece of worm are enough for DuBois Reservoir bluegill around cover. Perch anglers on DuBois Reservoir should stay mobile until several bites come from the same depth.

Catfish, Bullheads and Carp

After dark, try a nightcrawler or cut bait near a channel turn when fishing DuBois Reservoir for channel catfish.

A Simple Fishing Plan for DuBois Reservoir

Make the first pass with a moving lure, then return to the most promising cover with a jig or soft plastic on DuBois Reservoir. Then check the original creek route, the dam end and any point on DuBois Reservoir that reaches toward deeper water.

When to Fish DuBois Reservoir

A sunny spring afternoon can pull DuBois Reservoir fish toward dark bottom, wood and new vegetation. Summer fish in DuBois Reservoir may feed shallow at dawn before settling beside cover or deeper structure. Cooling water can bring DuBois Reservoir fish back to points and banks where bait gathers.
