This is one of the shallower brush piles in the lake and is only refurbished every 3-4 years. There are normally flathead catfish hanging out in this area throughout the summer and crappie will concentrate here in the spring and fall. This pile will be 8-10 feet deep at conservation.

We recently upgraded this attractor with 25 cedar trees in August 2011.

This brushpile consists of 50 large cedar trees. When the reservoir is full, it is in 13-15 feet of water and produces some excellent crappie fishing. Good numbers of largemouth bass and channel catfish may also congregate in this area and anglers can catch a variety of species.

One of four deep water brushpiles we maintain (30 feet deep at conservation), this attractor is located off the south bluffs along a steep drop off near shore. The area is not marked with a buoy and consists of about 150 evergreen trees. Fall and winter crappie congregate around this brushpile, along with other species, including white bass, walleye, and channel catfish. We try to enhance this brushpile every third year.

The legendary Waconda Springs has been filled in, but can still provide some quality fishing opportunities, especially for walleye and white bass which tend to congregate in areas with rapid depth changes. The actual spring is approximately 14-15 feet deep at conservation pool with the area around it 25-30 feet deep, creating a nice slope. It can be found in the middle of the reservoir between the bluffs and the west point of Granite Creek. Boat anglers often drift or troll near this attractor and can have good success depending on the time of year.

This small brushpile is off the beaten path and is most accessible for boat anglers. At conservation level, this attractor is located in 14-15 feet of water and provides excellent cover for a variety of sportfish. The surrounding cove can offer some excellent fall fishing for white bass and striped bass as well as crappie and smallmouth bass in the attractor.

This is a popular fish attractor due to its location in the back of Marina Cove. At conservation level, it is in 12 feet of water and has been known to produce some excellent crappie catches in the spring and through the ice. Channel catfish also congregate around this attractor in the summer, and the occasional walleye and largemouth bass are caught near it. Currently, there are about 20 trees, but we will upgrade it once water levels return to normal pool.

This is probably the best crappie hotspot in the spring when the fish are spawning, and it receives heavy fishing pressure throughout the year for black bass, channel catfish, and crappie. At conservation pool, this attractor is around 18 feet deep and is easily accessible from shore. We will upgrade this attractor once the reservoir fills. It consists of approximately 120 cedar trees.

One of four deep water brush piles we maintain (around 32 feet when the reservoir is full), this attractor is located off the Campground 3 point on a steep drop near shore. The area is marked with a fish attractor buoy and is fairly easy to locate. Fall and winter crappie congregate around this brushpile, along with other species, including white bass, walleye, and channel catfish. A long cast from shore can reach this fish attractor.

This brushpile is approximately 15-18 feet deep when the reservoir is full. Crappie concentrate around the cover in the spring and fall, and channel catfish can be found near it in the summer. We will attempt to maintain this attractor every other year.
