Key Hole Reservoir Fishing Reports
Key Hole Reservoir - Sunday, February 21, 2010 | |
Arrived at the dead sea around 2 pm. Fished hard until dark. Caught nothing and no bites. Seen lots of ruff fish on the aqua view. Carp & drum bass do well in this lake. If you could get the carp to bite you might get some action. |

caught lots of crappie and a couple cats near the dam. slow during the day but bite picked up about 3.Caught most on small minnows but got a few on meal worms. Water is very clear. I could see 20 feet down. There is no good place to buy bait near the lake. if you buy minnows at the bar you will get ripped off. |
