I'm Heading Up There This Weekend Any Info On Hodenpyle Would Be Great. Crappies? Big Bass?

Lots of 'eyes and pike from what I understand. Couldn't tell ya how to get 'em though. I do my fishing on the other side of the dam when I'm up there. Night time's good for the 'eyes I hear.

Be careful. Tons of stumps that will empty your tackle box and your lower unit quick.

Fish it quite often. Good smallmouth along any shore dropoff. Walleyes seem to move a lot on the pond so you will have to hunt em up..........they are they along with some HUGE nasty pike......................a fun place to fish if you don't mind losing a little tackle at times......

I havent been there in a few years but I used to do pretty good on eyes by drifting with a crawler harness. Better buy stuff to tie your own because those stumps will make short work of a harness. Please be real careful the stumps have messed up many a boat. While you are drifting and real relaxed you bump a stump and it scares the bejeebies out of you. BIG pike good small mouth bluegill and perch Big catfish down by the dam. Be aware the air force use to make bombing (milk) runs on the dam didnt hear the jets until they were right on top of you. Its a real good place to fish. Befor I went I used to catch as many crawlers as I could usually around 300-500 for a week. have fun
