Fishing Report
Calling Panther Lake - 5/13/2024 2:20:04 PM| Species | Detail | |
| Largemouth Bass | Bass fishing has been good. Bass are transitioning to summer patterns. Try throwing lipless crankbaits, topwaters, and jerk baits. | |
| Crappie | Crappie fishing is fair. Try fishing live minnows or white soft plastics near ledges and in the creeks. | |
| Bream | Bream fishing is good. The bream are bedding and you can smell their unmistakable odor a ways off. Crickets are the best but they will respond to small jigs and beetle spins. | |
| Catfish | No new reports. Catfishing is good. The catfish are the most predictable fish we have. Tight line out in the deep water next to the dam with cut baits, worms, etc. and hold on! | |
Water Temperature: 76°F Water Visibility: 36 inches (stained)
Please dispose of trash in barrels provided.
