Fish and Useful Baits at Klines Reservoir

Fish reported from Klines Reservoir include black crappie, bluegill, channel catfish, common carp, largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, walleye, and yellow perch.

Bass

Largemouth bass in Klines Reservoir can be searched with a spinnerbait before a Texas-rigged worm is worked through the best cover. For smallmouth bass on Klines Reservoir, keep a bottom-contact bait ready for points and channel edges.

Crappie, Perch and Sunfish

Slow vertical presentations around wood and suspended cover are dependable for Klines Reservoir crappie. Bluegill and other sunfish in Klines Reservoir take worms, crickets and tiny jigs along shade and vegetation. Keep a small jig, minnow or worm close to the bottom when perch are the target on Klines Reservoir.

Walleye and Larger Predators

Low-light walleye fishing on Klines Reservoir calls for shallow crankbaits, while daylight favors jigs on deeper structure.

A Simple Fishing Plan for Klines Reservoir

Use the first few bites to identify a depth instead of changing lures after every cast on Klines Reservoir. Then check the original creek route, the dam end and any point on Klines Reservoir that reaches toward deeper water.

When to Fish Klines Reservoir

Spring at Klines Reservoir favors warming coves, feeder mouths and protected spawning banks. Once summer heat settles over Klines Reservoir, work the deepest active cover instead of assuming every fish has moved to the bottom. Windblown points on Klines Reservoir become worth checking when autumn baitfish move shallow.
