Little Prairie Ca

[gramps50]

I have been thinking of hooking up the boat and heading to Little Prairie CA outside of Rolla. Anyone fish there? How;s the fishing there?

Looks like a nice place looking at it from Google maps

I've only been there briefly. It LOOKS nice, but looks like it could get a bit windy (it's flat and exposed). I've heard stories of good fish coming out of there, but haven't fished it yet.

There is a really nice boat ramp and fishing dock.

I've caught OK bluegill, small bass, a few nice redear, and not much else. Heard of crappie on the banks in the spring, but I was always trout fishing instead. Watched a guy pull some out of mid-lake trees near the dam one day- had about 17 of them. I see people occasionally setting up by the dock for catfish at night, but never saw anyone catch them.

Best bet? Give it a shot, you might get into something. I never had a boat, so I couldn't fish the spots I really wanted.

Good spot for catfish and crappie, i find the bass fishing hit-or-miss. The shallows get very weedy in the summer. There is a 10hp limit, but lately they have been letting larger motors operate, as long as they are kept at idle speed. ~K

I fished it twice for Bluegill. First time we caught several really nice fish before we were run off the lake by an vicious downpour. The fish we caught inspired us to try again. The second trip was disappointing, very few fish of size and no real bed activity. Probably more pretty a lake than productive.
