Volga Lake

[Whisker Trout Slayer]

I have heard that there are perch in Volga Lake. I went to UIU ('96) adn I never caught one there, mostly gils and crappies.

Did they stock them in there, or were they illegally stocked?

Any size to them? Jumbo?

Any info would be great, thanks.

slayer. yes there are perch in the lake and no the dnr didn't stock them. haven't heard of any body catching any jombos this year, but other years we always get a few bass fishing. one guy said her caught 13 of them the other day. nothing huge, but big enough to keep. last year my son caught one that was well over a lb. on a crank bait while bass fishing. hope this helps. del

Has anyone caught trout in the lake? When we were just learning to drive we would go trout fishing and release trout into the lake. Kind of silly now but that was 8 years ago.

so that is where they came from !!!!!! yes i remember people catching them! the park guy didn't think it was too cute! hmmmmmm! the panfishing has been on and off. the bass fishing hasn't been to bad. the changing fronts don't help. they were getting some big cats earlier.del

I caught alot of perch there 6 to10 inch.Pouncing on bottom tubes and ice jigs.Night fishing cats has been great using cut bait.

fished volga sat morning. the crud was bad along the south dike so didn't try much for panfish. the water is getting green.( temp was 75) worked different areas for bass. not much at all. found a spot on the flats where i caught two 1 1/2 's; and a 5. got broke of on another good one.( should have retied!!) put out a marker so i didn't loose the spot.retied and move back to the spot. and dropped anchor. caught a total of 11 or 12 bass in that one area. the smallest was the 1 1/2's had several over 3 plus the 5. turns out i was by a brush pile in 9ft of water. had a very good morning. del

[delmuts]

didn't talk to anybody after cats sat. i would think the eveniing or night bite should be getting good with the water temp.( 75). i try to stay away from them critters!! del

fished the little lake this morning. didn't do great, but not a bad morning. caught 5 and lost three others. did have trouble with the little perch pecking at my tube. otherwise a nice morning. del

[delmuts]

haven't fished the lake for a while, but did hear a rumor about some one catching a 10 lb. bass out of there last week. it was told to me by another fisherman!( and they don't lie! do they???( don't know if i believe him!! ??? ) but makes for interesting thought! del

[supserdave]

10lb? Would be more beleivable with a pic, keep us posted. I got to lake meyer the other day, two good fish and a lot of dinks, but i only got to fish until 730 pm, cuz i had to take home my catch of the day, a 25lb snapping turtle. Darn thing slammed a plastic worm in the slop.
