| Rocky Fork Lake Unlimited Horsepower Saugeye - For the last six years ODNR has stocked saugeye in the lake - 431,000 in 2007. Fair numbers were caught in 2007 by casting jig heads with twister tails or by trolling crank baits. ( shad raps or hot-n-tots ) There is a daily limit of 6. O.D.N.R. Is expecting numbers caught to be good to excellent this year. Crappie - If 2007 is any indication, the size is definitely improving. Good numbers of 9 to 11 inch crappies were caught this spring along with excellent numbers of 7 to 9 inches. Use minnows, twister tails, or small tubes. Fish around Lay Downs. Bass - Good to excellent numbers can be caught. Spring fishermen use spinner baits or jig-and-pig. Crank baits or plastic worms work best in the summer & fall. There is a daily limit of 5 and the minimum size is 12 inches. Bluegill - Excellent numbers of 6 to 8 1/2 inch bluegills can be caught on wax worms or red worms around the docks, in the backs of coves, and on shallow points. White Bass - In the spring the white bass make runs up both Rocky Fork Creek and Clear Creek. Use in-line spinners (rooster tails, mepps, etc.) or twister tails. In the summer & fall look for them on the flats feeding on shad. Then cast in-line spinners or twister tails. Channel Catfish - Catch them throughout the lake on night crawlers, liver or cut bait. Shovel head (Flathead) Catfish - During the summer & fall fish for them in the west end of the lake using live bait - chubs, goldfish or large minnows. |
