Fish and Useful Baits at Stevens Lake

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

Bass

Begin the largemouth search on Stevens Lake with a moving bait, then pick apart wood or weeds with a worm. For smallmouth bass on Stevens Lake, 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 Stevens Lake crappie. Bluegill and other sunfish in Stevens Lake 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 Stevens Lake.

Walleye and Larger Predators

A jig tipped with a minnow and a small trolling crankbait cover both slow and active walleye on Stevens Lake.

A Simple Fishing Plan for Stevens Lake

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

When to Fish Stevens Lake

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