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.

This location is marked with a fish attractor buoy.

This fish attractor located just south of the north marina pier is 14-18 feet deep when the reservoir is full. It is infrequently maintained and consists of around 70-80 cedar trees, but can occasionally offer some decent crappie fishing during the spring and through the ice. Channel catfish are also caught off this brush pile during the spring and summer months.

We really beefed up this brush pile with the addition of 60 large cedar trees in March 2014.

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 brushpile was created in April 2010 with help from members of the Waconda Lake Association. We added 260 medium to large cedar trees and placed a fish attractor buoy to make it easy for anglers to locate. Boat anglers and shoreline anglers will both benefit from its location near the parking area on the south bluffs. This will be a great deep water (30 feet at conservation) fish attractor for crappie in the fall and winter as well as other species like smallmouth bass, white bass, and walleye. We will attempt to maintain this attractor every third year.

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 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 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.
