Annual Prospects Report
Largemouth bass fishing in this 94-acre water supply lake in Ralls County will be good. The bass population in Route J continues to be one of the most robust populations in northeast Missouri. An electrofishing survey in the spring of 2025 indicated good numbers of bass between 12 and 20 inches long. Anglers will have a high chance of catching a memorable fish over 18 inches with a good possibility of catching a trophy fish over 21 inches. Bluegill will also be abundant with few of harvestable size. Black crappie are present in moderate numbers with a good population of fish greater than 8 inches, with few individuals exceeding 10 inches. This will offer anglers a decent population of harvestable size black crappie. Channel catfish are stocked annually. Most catfish will be 12-20 inches long.
