Evergreen Lake, McLean County (all postings)

Has anyone checked out the ice depth recently?

Fished Evergreen On 7-2-08 and 7-5-08, small saugeye , a few 10 1/2 inch crappie, alot of small crappie and a few gills , also caught a 26 in Muskie and some largemouth .

Fished from 9a-3p. Tried the deep end of the lake under the power lines from deep to flat to deep. Drifted with minnows & nightcrawlers. Only caught 4 fish the first 3 hours. 3 small saugeye, 1 small crappie. Went to the shore/bays and caught several nice gills and 1 nice 9" crappie. Not a very productive day fishing. Who knows where the big crappie are in this lake. They now put a 15 limit and must be 9" on the crappies here. Good luck to all.

fished from 8-12 today.. between 4 of us we caught close to 60 crappie with a few bluegill mixed in.. also caught a 13inch saugeye. all fish came on either tube jigs or wax worms.. bait shop didnt have any minnows.. biggest crappie was close to 11" most were in the 6-8" range. bluegills were mostly small with 2 at 8".

fished this morning from 8-11 for crappie... caught alot of smaller ones (6-8 inches) caught a few keepers and a couple 15-17 inch bass... went through 3 dozen minnows so they were biting well.

fished monday may 12th for crappie... started at the camp ground cove only caught 2 so we went around on the back side of the lake and ended up keeping 8 but caught 30-40 fish.. most were 8 3/4 so next year the crappie should be all great..

went there monday fished off the rental dock caught 5 keepers and alot of shorties blue and white jig about a foot off the bottom tiped with a minnow and some with waxies a few bass and a saugeye all shorties but fun to catch

Hey guys looking for any info on the lake..wanting to fish this weekend..thanks

No bites today. There was some activity in the shallow end of the lake; mostly schooling shad and a few carp jumping. I trolled with then cast a Bobbie Bait crank bait. Water was still pretty murky, very low visibility,

Whats the situation down there for the lake? Looking to get out casting shorleines in the next few weeks...

Also is the goofy 10hp limit still in effect? i hate lakes like that..

finally some ice Dont know if it will last through weekend 1 fish here 1 there!

I am looking for an update on the ice conditions.

Any information on ice conditions. Would like to go before it warms again.

Was out fishing in the wind last week. Saugeye fishing was fairly good. Averaged 3-4 keepers a night - all in the 14-17 inch range. Key for me was to start just off the edge of the flats (on the windy side) and drift over the flats. Most fish came right on the edge of the drop-off, with a few coming from the flats themselves. Most fish caught in 8-12 feet of water drifting jig and half a crawler.

Good luck all!

Has anyone been catching any crappie yet this year? If so where at?
