Fishing Report
Fishing Forecast
The fishery in Folsum was last sampled by the IDNR back in June of 2010. Catchable size largemouth bass 12 to 15-inches and channel catfish 13 to 15-inches were collected. The bluegills sampled were over 7-inches. Folsum Lake like all the borrow lakes along I-29 tends to provide crappie, largemouth bass, and channel catfish. The quality bluegills were a suprise. This survey also detected the re-infestation of common carp and yellow bass into the lake.(2012)
