The crappie bite has slowed down as the water clarity has been reduced. Largemouth Bass - Fair: Try fishing along the shoreline with plastics, crankbaits, worms, or leeches. Crappie - Fair: Crappie between 7 and 8 inches are being caught as fast as you can reel them in. Try fishing from shore between the fish house and the outlet. Use a small jig baited with a wax worm or a Berkley crappie niblet under a bobber set 1 to 2 feet down.

Water clarity is around 16 inches. Bluegill - Fair: Some hand sized bluegills are being caught with a jig and a small piece of worm in fairly shallow water. Largemouth Bass - Fair: Some bass are being caught on rattling crankbaits. Also try live bait to catch bass when the water clarity is poor. Crappie - Fair: Crappie in the 7 to 8-inch size range are plentiful, but they are difficult to target right now.

Water clarity has improved since the last couple of weeks. Bluegill - Good: Fish about 10 feet off shore and two feet down with a bobber and a worm. Anglers are catching them almost as fast as they can reel them in. Largemouth Bass - Fair: A few bass are being picked up while panfishing. Crappie - Good: Fish about 10 feet off shore and two feet down with a bobber and a worm. Anglers are catching them almost as fast as they can reel them in.

Water clarity has improved during the last couple of weeks. Bluegill - Fair: Fish about 10 feet off shore and two feet down with a bobber and a worm. Anglers are having good luck with most panfish. Largemouth Bass - Fair: A few bass are still being picked up. Crappie - Good: Fish about 10 feet off shore and two feet down with a bobber and a worm. Anglers are having good luck with most panfish.

The majority of Swan Lake is frozen over with the exception of one open water area being kept open by the geese.
