Deer Ridge Lake Fishing Prospects 2006 Information: (573) 248-2530 This 48-acre lake, nestled among the timber in Deer Ridge Conservation Area, continues to be favored by anglers seeking solitude and a picturesque setting. The lake was renovated and restocked during 1996, and the fish community is now fully developed. All species supported good fishing during 2005 and will again during 2006. Largemouth bass remain very numerous, although most are less than 15 inches long. A few bass over six pounds are present. Bluegill 6 to 7 inches long are plentiful, and the abundance of bluegill over 8 inches long has increased. Crappie anglers should continue to enjoy catching 8 to 10-inch long black crappie, especially during springtime. However, summertime crappie fishing can also be good around standing timber and brush piles. Anglers seeking channel catfish should find fishing to be fair; most catfish are 16 to 26 inches long. Area visitors may also want to take advantage of the primitive camping areas, hiking trails, and shooting range available at this Conservation Area. From MDC Annual Reports
