Fish and Useful Baits at Lilly Reservoirs

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

Bass

Low light favors a topwater or spinnerbait for Lilly Reservoirs largemouth; brighter conditions call for a slower presentation beside cover.

Crappie, Perch and Sunfish

Crappie anglers on Lilly Reservoirs 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 Lilly Reservoirs bluegill around cover. Perch anglers on Lilly Reservoirs should stay mobile until several bites come from the same depth.

Catfish, Bullheads and Carp

Channel catfish in Lilly Reservoirs take cut bait, nightcrawlers and prepared bait on a slip-sinker rig.

A Simple Fishing Plan for Lilly Reservoirs

Start with the best-looking shallow cover during the first hour, then move to the nearest drop if the bank is quiet on Lilly Reservoirs. Then check the original creek route, the dam end and any point on Lilly Reservoirs that reaches toward deeper water.

When to Fish Lilly Reservoirs

Early spring on Lilly Reservoirs calls for a slow presentation near the first break outside protected water. At midday in summer, Lilly Reservoirs anglers should slow down beside shade, weeds or a nearby depth change.
