Went out to Ohop to fish for bass. Fished for about 3 hours in the afternoon. Didn't catch a thing. Got some bites, but probably crappie. Anyone fish this lake, and is it still a good fishery?? I was hitting docks in less than 10 feet.
Skiers weren't a problem, overcast with some sun breaks, and WINDY.

This lake seems to be "ok" for bass.I know a few people that do really well. Anytime I'm out here I usually target crappie. Big crappie in here for sure.

chris, i also have had minimal luck at ohop for bass. it's a great trout fishery all day, trolling with worm harnesses. if your gonna drive down that way, i would suggest tanwax, or others do well at rapjohn.

I live near Ohop and fish it several times each year (mostly for trout and crappie). But catch enough bass to know that it is decent. The larger fish I catch (2-3 lbs) usually are hitting small minnows that I think are a species of shiner. The water is rather murky but the fisheries studies show that the oxygen remains viable very deep in the lake so it is possible that the larger fish may be hanging over structure deeper than most people fish (would make sense on those heavy traffic days too). Just some insight if you come back down again. You may also want to go try Alder as the bays have good largemouth (have taken several nice sized bass and crappie right at the end of the Alder Cutoff Road). Also try Tanwax as suggested. If you get back to Ohop gear your fishing for crappie as there are some real nice ones especially right at dusk.
