Anglers have reported catching a mixture of smallmouth bass, largemouth bass, and crappie. Crappie anglers have connected with fish shallow using bobber and jig setups and in deeper water trolling. Recent sampling efforts on McKay Reservoir by ODFW fish biologists identified good numbers of crappie from 6-11 inches in length.

As a reminder, McKay Reservoir closes to fishing on Sept. 30 and will open back up on March 1.
