Fished Wyco Tuesday and Wednesday this week. Quantity was great, quality OK Tuesday but smaller fish on Wednesday. Caught over 50 Bass in two days. They were hammering the Ned Rig. :fishing1:

KDWPT just released that Wyco has been confirmed for Zebra Mussels.

I am not surprised :cry4: what with all the lakes around here that have them and all the anglers that fish Wyco as well as those other lakes. I know the majority are concerned and careful about trying to control them, but it happens. Could have been the geese ??? Will just have to make sure and clean the boat after fishing there now.

Good to hear the fish are finally eating out there a little bit. I've been telling myself I need to get out there soon because I know that lake gets good again all the way up until they close it every fall.

Not surprised to hear that. I'm starting to think there really is no way to stop the spread of those things, maybe just slow them down a little bit.

Got to Wyco for a few hours today to see if the fall bite was still going good, it seemed to be. I was on the water from 9-12:30 and managed to put 26 bass and a nice crappie in the boat. No keeper bass and the ones I caught were skinny. The low water is punishing them it seems. My biggest of the day was a 17" smallmouth. It's crazy how much smaller a 17" fish from wyco looks compared to the 17" smallies I was catching at Melvern yesterday. It was also the only smallie I caught.

I was catching them mostly off the same short stretch of bank and I guess all the action was too much to bare and I got a reminder that I was in fact at Wyandotte lake as I was soon joined by the only other boat on the lake. 400 acres of water with 2 boats on it and this guy parked 20 yards in front of me and was barely a rods length away at times. Takes a lot of will power to keep my mouth shut at times like this.

It's about 50 yards to the point behind him so yeah he was way too close in my opinion even though I know there's no law against it, should just be common courtesy but I guess not. I was pretty surpried by my crappie. It ate a trick worm on a shakyhead and was a nice crappie for wyco.

Caught fish mostly on a shakyhead but had a few on a Ned rig, one knocker, and squarebill also. Couldn't buy a fish on a jerkbait or chatterbait which really surprised me.

They're in there for sure. Wyco will eventually become primarily a smallmouth lake, it's just set up better for them with the deep, clear, rocky environment. I still haven't seen a picture of the new lake record caught this summer that was 5.62lbs during one of the Wednesday nighters. Good to see he released her, need fish like that to keep producing future generations of smallmouth. Too bad for him it wasn't at Melvern or Milford, that fish would have been pushing the state record at 23.5 inches at one of those lakes.

If those fun little zebras help the smallie population out there, it might just push me over the edge with getting a permit.

It has as solid smallie population already, probably 40% smallies to 60% largemouth, and the average size is getting to be pretty good anymore. It is the only lake within 20 minutes you have any shot at a smallmouth over 5, no doubt about that :). We had one between 15 and 17 inches every night we fished the Wednesday nighters out there this year.

Fished Wyco today, saw only two other boats on the lake. Had a decent day caught 15 LMB and 2 Smallmouth plus a drum that probably went 4#. (darn, thought I had a big bass!) Everything bit the Ned rig. No bigguns but was a fun day.

Hopefully hitting wyco tomorrow

Did you make it out there? Slight chance I might make it out there today for a couple hours depending on how tired I am after work.

I fished from the bank for 30 minutes and caught 5 largemouth and a smallmouth all on a shakyhead.

Wednesday fished from 9 to noon, caught 16 LMB biggest was 16 inches. Several came unbuttoned before getting to boat. Got broke off one time on 8 lb line (probably my fault, :cry4: should have retied after several fish). PB & J twister tail and Ned rigs.
