The recorded size of Quincy Lake is missing; fish one short bank carefully before deciding whether a wider search makes sense.

Fish and Baits

Fish listed for Quincy Lake include Black Crappie, Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, Channel Catfish, Common Carp, Largemouth Bass, Largescale Sucker, Northern Pikeminnow, Peamouth Chub, Pumpkinseed, Redside Shiner, Smallmouth Bass, Walleye, and Yellow Perch.

During a check of nearby water near a channel bend while the water is rising, work a jig, minnow rig, or small crankbait along points and the old channel edge for walleye.

During the start of a weather change near the edge of deeper water where two features meet, keep a small jig tipped with a worm or minnow close to bottom on a shelf for yellow perch.

During the final pass near a windblown shore close to shade, fish a small jig or minnow around wood, weeds, and sharp little drops for black crappie.

During a calm morning near a creek-side turn while the water is rising, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.

During a slow shoreline pass near a quiet corner after warm rain, Other targets listed here include Smallmouth Bass, Largemouth Bass, Channel Catfish, Brown Bullhead, and Common Carp; give each one its own bait and depth instead of trying to catch everything with the same rig.

During a short evening pass near a quiet corner beside useful cover, rainbow Trout have also been stocked here; that proves fish were released, but it does not promise that they are still common or easy to catch.

How to Read the Water

During a steady fall day near a clean gravel patch with stable weather, Make one shallow pass and one deeper pass on the same shoreline; that shows whether fish are tight to cover or using the first break.

Season by Season

While using a quick comparison of two banks near a rocky edge close to shade, spring runoff can add color and pull fish toward fresh water; green weeds and the first drop become stronger summer targets; in fall, follow bait toward points and shallow flats, while winter rewards a slower search.

A Simple Tackle Plan

During a return to the best bank near the outside weed line in clear water, a medium spinning rod, 8-pound line, a small box of jigs, a few crankbaits, and a simple bottom rig cover most situations; change depth or speed before changing every piece of tackle.

During a methodical search near a creek-side turn while the water is falling, record the wind, water color, depth where fish were holding, and cover after a bite; those four notes are more useful on the next trip than a long list of spots that did not produce.
