Finally, it's looking like spring is on its way to Noble
County! Crappies are being caught in the channels in Bixler
Lake using crappie jigs and live minnows. Walleye are being
caught both above and below the dam on Sylvan Lake using night
crawlers and rapalas. Bass are in the main lake; use
artificial bait and night crawlers.
Watch for more frequent fishing reports, now that winter seems to
be behind us.
