Bass

Largemouth bass in Goss Run Dam can be searched with a spinnerbait before a Texas-rigged worm is worked through the best cover. Smallmouth at Goss Run Dam are better matched with tubes, grubs and crayfish-colored crankbaits on rock or clean points.

Crappie, Perch and Sunfish

Crappie anglers on Goss Run Dam 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 Goss Run Dam bluegill around cover. Perch anglers on Goss Run Dam should stay mobile until several bites come from the same depth.

Walleye and Larger Predators

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

A Simple Fishing Plan for Goss Run Dam

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

When to Fish Goss Run Dam

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