Fishing Report
Fishing Forecast
The fishery in Carter Lake is developing rapidly following fall 2010 renovation project. Largemouth bass, bluegill, and channel catfish were re-introduced into the lake in 2011. Addition stocking of largemouth bass, walleye, channel catfish, and black crappie are planned over the next 2 years to complete the restocking effort. Some catchable size fish have already return to the lake. Anglers have been catching nice sized bass, bluegill and channel catfish. Common carp have made it back to the lake, bad news for water quality.(2013)
