Kaw Lake Fishing Report May 5. Elevation normal, water upper 60s in the creeks and mid 60s in the main lake and clear. Crappie excellent on minnow and jigs 2-4 ft. all over the lake and excellent at 1-2 ft. around structure in the creeks. Males are shallow while females are staged a little deeper. Walleye slow on minnows and jigs in the gravel flats north of Osage Cove. Largemouth and spotted bass fair on jerk baits and spinnerbaits at 4-10 ft. near rocks from south of Kaw City to the dam. White bass and striped bass hybrids good on Alabama rigs and crankbaits around rocky points that the wind is blowing into. Blue and channel catfish excellent on cut bait in the shallows of the Arkansas River arm, fair on juglines in the Coon Creek area and good on worms and stinkbait below Kaw Dam. Bow fishing is good in the main lake for carp and buffalo and fair below the dam for gar. Paddlefish slow off the east side boat ramp after generation. White bass and striped bass hybrids good on jigs and Alabama rigs below the dam. Generation below the dam typically only occurs during the week unless there is a high water event.
