Dains Fish Farm

After hours 660/781-8020

The boat ramp is open. The river is bank full. Don’t know if the river is rising or falling.

You can fish with rod and reel. A few people are setting trotlines.. Others are using throw lines and bank poles.

They are still catching flatheads on live bait and blue cats on just about anything else.

We are open from 8 a.m. until 7 p.m. Closed Sunday and Monday.

They are catching a few stripers and channel cat off the bridge. I haven’t heard about any crappie or bass.

We serve biscuits and gravy on Saturday and Sunday from when we open at 9 a.m. until we run out. The biscuits are big. We ran out again and Stephanie made more. We did not run out last weekend because of the rain.

We charge $5.49 for biscuit and gravy.

We are open Monday thru Saturday 9-6 and Sunday 9-5.

We are open Monday-Thursday 8-5, Friday-Saturday 7-7, Sunday 7-5.

The lake is 6 feet above pool. Water temp is 75 degrees.

Crappie are on the brush piles. Walleye are on the flats and coves hitting bottom bouncers tipped with a live red worm. I’m seeing lots of crappie and walleye brought to the cleaning table at the marina.

I just caught an 18 inch white bass. Biggest one I’ve ever seen.
