Fish species in Snow Hill Dam

Official stocking history

Stocking records show that the following fish or strains were stocked here. A historical stocking does not by itself prove that a self-sustaining population remains today.

Snow Hill Dam covers 3.95 acres in Monroe County. Dependable maximum-depth and storage-volume figures were not found for Snow Hill Dam, so neither should be estimated from a similarly named lake.

What to Expect at Snow Hill Dam

Because Snow Hill Dam is only 3.95 acres, a careful bank-by-bank approach is more useful than constant moving.

Fish and Useful Baits at Snow Hill Dam

Fish reported from Snow Hill Dam include black crappie, bluegill, channel catfish, common carp, largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, walleye, and yellow perch. Brook trout and brown trout are also stocked in Snow Hill Dam.

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.

A Simple Fishing Plan for Snow Hill Dam

Check the incoming-water end and the dam side before settling into a pattern, since they often fish like different lakes on Snow Hill Dam. Then check the original creek route, the dam end and any point on Snow Hill Dam that reaches toward deeper water.

When to Fish Snow Hill Dam

Early spring on Snow Hill Dam calls for a slow presentation near the first break outside protected water. At midday in summer, Snow Hill Dam anglers should slow down beside shade, weeds or a nearby depth change. Fall on Snow Hill Dam is a good time for small crankbaits and swimbaits around moving forage.
