Webster Reservoir Fishing Report - Updated: 11/04/2025
| Species | Rating | Size | Baits, Method, and Location |
|---|---|---|---|
| Crappie | Fair | 7 to 17 inches | Are picking up a few around the north shore breakwater and fish attractors using jigs and jigs with minnows. |
| Walleye | Fair | 14 to 28 inches | Starting to pick up a few more fish due to the cool water temps using jigs and night crawlers on the flats and trolling diving lures along the dam. Fishing the river channel could also be productive. |
| White Bass/Wiper | Good | 8 to 28 inches | Both species are being caught around the north and south shore fish attractors, breakwaters, and along the dam using jigs and jigs tipped with minnow. Trolling diving lures lake wide is also proving successful. |
| Catfish | Fair | 12 to 30 inches | Have been catching some fish lake wide using shad, shrimp, gizzards, night crawler's or stink baits on the bottom. |
| Largemouth Bass | Fair | 12 to 22 inches | Fish are being caught around the maintained fish attractors, outlet and breakwaters using plastics and spinner baits. |
| General Comments | |||
| WATER TEMPERATURE- 50° SURFACE ELEVATION- 1866.25 ---- 26.2' below conservation pool The water level is 0.52' lower than it was one year ago at this time. All species locations, methods, and baits are generalized for the cooler water temps, and the fishing report will likely not be updated until the spring. Old Marina, Morel, Goose Flats and Lake view boat ramps are not usable; however, Rock Point (north ramp has been barricaded off, but the south ramp goes all the way to the bottom and is still usable). Fish cleaning station has been closed for the winter. A boat cleaning station (CD3) has been added by the fish cleaning station and is usable at this time. Remember it is illegal to release any fish into public water unless it was taken from that water. Please discard leftover bait in a trash can. | |||
