Fish species in Skinner Creek Flowage

Skinner Creek Flowage sits in Rusk County and is listed as a reservoir with the current inventory showing about 55 acres and a maximum depth of 5 feet, which is the first thing I would want to know if a buddy asked me about this place.

On a first visit, I would make a short list of places to try with a simple look at shoreline cover, weed edges, and the first clean drop away from the bank and I would take a couple of bites in one type of water over a dozen pretty spots with no life.

Fish you may run into

The current inventory lists Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch for Skinner Creek Flowage; so the first trip would at least account for weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weeds and easy cover for panfish, and stick with what produces signs of life.

How I would break it down

If I wanted to learn Skinner Creek Flowage without overdoing it, I would rather learn one shoreline, bay, point, or break than spend the whole day running around, then I would confirm the current rules before the first fish ever comes over the side.
