Fishing Report
Fishing Forecast
Lake Geode was renovated in the early 80's to remove a problem gizzard shad population. Since then Lake Geode has developed into one of the premier bluegill lakes in the state producing good catches of 8 to 10 inch bluegills every year. Crappies are of a good size with many in the 10-12 inch size range but not in high numbers. There is a very high population of Largemouth Bass in the lake with surveys showing up to 140 bass per hour of electrofishing. A majority of these bass are under the 15" length limit which is not uncommon in lakes with a high panfish harvest.
Redear sunfish are another sought after species in Geode with fish over 10 inches being caught on a regular basis.(2007)
