wilmore dam

U missed a good bite by one week.  They were hammering many nices ones got a few big females with eggs already.  Ill be there on sunday to give her a try.

Fished today got 58 keepers between the three of us.  nice day little windy hard to hold on them.

Ya alot of cleaning but well worth the eating.  Actually im eating a bunch now for dinner.

the spawn's not on yet. the females have egges .but there bellies are not big . give it 2 more weeks and the spawn will be on .males are coming in to mark there ground and fight for the females. i watch them many times . those fish are unreal . there fun to watch

TRIED again today with the same results.Everyone that I talked to said the same thing,shore bite was late this year,  but should pick up anytime.The lake was busy with boats,surprised me with this early in trout season.Very impressed with the beauty & Quietness of the lake. We left at 2pm didn't see or hear of anything caught by then. I think they were putting in another dock while we were there. The handicapped area was very nice also.Also was impressed with the curtesy of the boaters that, even though it is electric only, they came out of the launching area & passed us slowly. thanks    sam

stealys4me, hope it is not as windy there for you as it was at Crooked Creek today.  sam

sounds like you had a great day. I didn't realize that was a special reg. lake for panfish,but doesn't matter I only keep 6 or 8 over 10" anyways. I don't like to freeze them & with me & wifey that's enough for a nice meal.Those regs do definately make a difference in the quality & quanity of fish in a lake. You can really tell the diff. down here in the aver. size since they started at Twin Lakes. btw did you get any slabs?  sam

bedfordboy, yes

YES ELECTRIC ONLY, AND THE 2 COUNTIES OWN IT NOW CAMBRIA/SOMERSET CO,  THE LAKE ISNT THAT WIDE BUT IT IS LONG.

No gas motor at all on board they patrol it pretty hard been stoped many times but they only seem concerned about fishing lic, and flotation devices.

Fished today 2 of us  got a 2 man limit of crappies after the rain all on plastic   great place to fish...

2 of us caught 116 crappies, 2 bluegills, and a 18 inch bass.  in 4 1/2 hours of fishing.  Only 9 legal crappies biggest being 10 1/2 inches.  Most of them being 8 1/2 to 8 3/4 inches.  Lots of crappies but not to many nice one.  That was the first time I have every fished the lake.  It was fun but I think I will stick to Raystown where I can catch alot of 12 to 15 inchers.  Hey stealys4me how is the bass fishing in Wilmore? 

thats sad you catch fish less then there size. well all i can say there many fish in the lake. you do catch lots of fish but not many keepers. that keeps you coming back to see the big ones [dream on]

Hitting the dam all day tomorrow crappie bite still on post report later.
