Big Hill Reservoir Fishing Report -
Species Rating Size Baits, Method & Location
Crappie Good 6-12" Crappie fishing remains good.  Look for fish in deeper structure.  Minnows and plastic jigs have been working best.
Channel Catfish Good 16-24" Catfishing remains good.  Look for fish to be on the windward side of the lake and moving into the shallower water near deep water to feed in the evenings.  Shad sides are the preferred bait.
Largemouth and Smallmouth  Bass Fair 12-20" Largemouth bass fishing remains fair.  Look for fish in deeper structure, but will move shallow in the early morning or evenings especially on cool cloudy days.  Smallmouth bass fishing has slowed. Fish will be near rocky shorelines and the dam.  Jigs have been working best.
Bluegill and Redears Fair 5-7" Bluegill and redear fishing has slowed.  Bluegill and redear can be found near any submerged vegetation and woody structure.   Worms under a bobber are working best.
