Bass
Low light favors a topwater or spinnerbait for Snow Hill Dam largemouth; brighter conditions call for a slower presentation beside cover. Smallmouth at Snow Hill Dam are better matched with tubes, grubs and crayfish-colored crankbaits on rock or clean points.
Crappie, Perch and Sunfish
Crappie anglers on Snow Hill 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 Snow Hill Dam bluegill around cover. Perch anglers on Snow Hill Dam should stay mobile until several bites come from the same depth.
Walleye and Larger Predators
Walleye at Snow Hill Dam can be approached with a jig and minnow, paddletail or trolled crankbait along a point or channel edge.
