Savannah City Reservoir

Savannah city reservoir, a 23-acre impoundment in Andrew County offers great potential for quality bluegill and crappie, as well as a good opportunity for fast action for channel catfish and largemouth bass. Electrofishing in 2025 again revealed a high largemouth bass density with an improving size structure. Of the 219 Bass sampled, 17 percent measured over 15 inches, with fish over 20 inches available. Largemouth bass can be located on shorelines, or on the plentiful brush piles all over the lake. Excellent black crappie and white crappie recruitment the past few years will provide plenty of crappie in the 8-11-inch range. Electrofishing in 2025 revealed over 98 percent of the crappie in the lake measuring over 8 inches, and almost 30 precent measuring over 10 inches. Crappie can be found over any of the abundant brush piles. Quality bluegill that average over 7 inches are common, and can be caught near any shoreline habitat on worms or crickets. Channel catfish continue to be stocked and all sizes are readily caught near the bank or on weedlines in the backs of coves. Plentiful shoreline access draws many bank anglers.
