Kaw: Elevation 1 ft. above normal, water 45 and clear. Crappie are picking up on Kaw at 20-25 ft. around brush piles that have been placed in areas close to natural structure, drop-offs, riprap, and both marinas. The riprap on the Washunga Bay bridge and the Sarge Creek bridge are historically good areas. Washunga bay has been producing the best the last part of February, although fishing is good from the upper Arkansas River to the dam. There are brush piles that have been placed by the Wildlife Department, and these areas are marked with fishing buoys. When most fishing is done from a boat, a depth finder is necessary to find the brush. Generally if your lure or minnow is not in close proximity to the brush, the fish wont see your bait 2 ft. or closer. 1/8 oz jigs with 2" bodies work well, black and green; 10 lb. super line (fire line) helps the abrasive effects of the zebra mussels. Blue catfish will pick up as the water temps edge closer to 50. Jug fishing with cut bait is a ver

y effective technique setting the hooks at five inch intervals at 5-30 ft. When fish are caught, concentrate hooks and bait in the productive zone. The best areas are the upper portion of the lake in the river channel, and trotlines are also very effective. Most anglers use fresh gizzard shad cut into pieces caught with a cast net in the same area. Fishing below Kaw dam has picked up with the recent release of water, with a few white bass showing up. Report submitted by Larry Green, game warden stationed in Osage County.
