History & Status of the Fishery

A resurvey was conducted on the Redwood Reservoir in 2006 to monitor the physical, chemical and biological charecteristics of the basin. The deepest water found was 7.3 feet, but most of the reservoir was 4.5 feet or less. Several shallow areas made boating difficult during the early August time period. The reservoir's watershed was dominated by row crop agriculture and the most abundant shoalwater substrate was silt. Submergent vegetation was extremely rare and the water was highly turbid. The Redwood reservoir has suffered from partial winterkills in the past but none have been documented in recent years.

A variety of species were available to anglers fishing the Redwood Reservoir in 2006. High numbers of channel catfish were trap netted. Channel catfish were 7.3-23.5 inches long averaging 13.8 inches. The 2006 catch rate for channel catfish was 14 times greater than any previous catch rate. Low numbers of northern pike, walleye, and black crappie were trap netted in 2006. Pike were 21.9-25.0 inches long averaging 23.4 inches. Walleye were large, ranging in length from 23.3-24.3 inches. Black crappie were also keeper sized, ranging in length from 8.2-11.5 inches. Carp, golden redhorse, silver redhorse, bigmouth buffalo and white sucker should also provide plenty of action for reservoir anglers.
