Fishing Report
Fishing Forecast
Hooper looks to be an excellent crappie fishery in 2012. Black and white crappies were surveyed in good numbers. White crappie ranged from 7 to 12 inches and the black crappie from 7 to 11 inches. Bluegill sizes are currently less desirable with most fish 6 to a little over 7 inches. There is a large year class of redear sunfish at 7.5 inches with fewer numbers of fish stretching out to 9.5 inches. Largemouth bass are abundant with a good distribution of fish from 8 to 16.5 inches. Hooper has a strong channel catfish population that tends to average larger size fish than most lakes in central Iowa. Most catfish sampled were 20 to 24 inches with fish over 30 inches observed.
