Sedgwick Co. - Lake Afton Fishing Report - Updated: 08/20/2025
| Species | Rating | Size | Baits, Method & Location |
|---|---|---|---|
| Zebra Mussels | Adult Zebra Mussels were found 7/31/08 at Lake Afton. Zebra mussels reproduce during the warmer months and veligers (larval stage) are present in the water column. Veligers are too small to be seen with the unaided eye and can be found in boat livewells, minnow buckets, boat bilges, water toys and anything else that is capable of holding even a small amount of water. Be sure to drain all equipment before leaving the lake to avoid moving veligers to other waters. THIS INCLUDES MINNOW BUCKETS, BOAT LIVEWELLS AND BILGES!!! REMEMBER!! Zebra Mussels are also present in Clearwater Creek below the spillway! | ||
| White Perch | Good | 4"-8" | Use a small hook with a small piece of worm or panfish lures. White perch may not be possessed alive. |
| Channel Catfish | Fair | up to 24" | Try hotdogs, liver, and cut bait. Harvest-sized Channel Catfish are stocked regularly in the Spring and Fall. |
| Crappie | Poor | up to 12" | Crappie should be moving shallow to spawn. Overall numbers of fish are low. Try crappie jigs and minnows in 2-5 feet of water. |
| Bluegill | Fair | up to 8" | Try a small piece of worm under a bobber around rocks and brush. |
| Largemouth Bass | Poor | up to 21" | Bass will move from shoreline habitats to deeper water throughout the day. Try spinnerbaits, soft plastic lures, and jigs. The population is low, so cover a lot of water to find them. |
| Saugeye | Poor | Most under 18" | 2023 stockings of Saugeye may mean you'll catch a few more than usual! However, be mindful of the length regulation for harvest, as nearly all Saugeye in the lake will be too small to keep. Nightcrawlers, plastic grubs, and shad lures are your best bets. |
| General Comments | |||
| Lake Afton was stocked with 3 rounds of Channel Catfish this spring! We will resume in late August or early September. Visit https://ksoutdoors.com/Fishing/Special-Fishing-Programs-for-You/Urban-Fishing-Program for more information. Lake Afton is a designated Aquatic Invasive Species water. This means anglers cannot leave with live fish in their possession, including bluegill, green sunfish, or other baitfish. | |||
