What kind of fish will I find at G. Ross Lord Park Reservoir?

Carp

Carp fishing is great at G. Ross Lord Reservoir it is quite shallow and carp can be seen quite easily from shore. Carp can be found in small schools moving very slowly through the reservoir bobbing up and down slightly breaking the surface of water. Anglers will have most luck using either corn or worms along the bottom of the water. Carp can exceed ten pounds and are a common catch in G. Ross Lord Reservoir.

Brown Bullhead (Catfish)

Catfish are abundant through G. Ross Lord Park Reservoir. They can be caught throughout the reservoir along the bottom. Anglers using worms or corn in search of carp often reel in a catfish due to the similar behavior that carp and catfish share. Be sure to be equipped with pliers when fishing, as catfish often swallow the hook.

Rock Bass

Rock bass fishing is not bad however most of them are quite small. With most angling at the reservoir being targeted at carp anglers can have success casting into shady parts with worms. Angling action is fairly good through the summer for rock bass and sunfish.
