Elk City Reservoir Fishing Report -
| Species | Rating | Size | Baits, Method & Location |
|---|---|---|---|
| Crappie | Fair | 8-14" | Crappie fishing has been hit or miss. Fluctuating temps and lake levels have made crappie fishing sporadic. Look for fish to be staging for spawning and moving into the shallows to spawn in the coming weeks. |
| Blue and channel catfish | Fair | 18-30" | Catfishing has been hit or miss. Look for fish to be near the river mouth with inflowing water and in the shallows of the wind blown shoreline. |
| White Bass | Fair | 10-14" | The white bass fishing remains fair. White bass just started to run the river when the river came up. It should get better when river conditions improve. |
| Outlet | Fair | 12-20" | Fishing has been fair. Some Channel and Blue Catfish have been caught down on cutbait and worms since the gates have been open. |
| The Blue Catfish regulation has passed and now is in effect. The new regulation allows 10/day with only 1 fish greater than 30 inches. Water Level Current water levels and discharge can be viewed HERE. Youth/Mentor Pond The Elk City State Park Youth/Mentor pond is now open. The pond is open to anglers 15 and younger as well as their mentor. A mentor may take more than one youth fishing, but only one mentor may fish per youth they accompany. Two channel catfish can be harvested daily, but largemouth bass are catch and release only. See the park office for more information. | |||
