|
Chase State Fishing Lake and Wildlife Area is located 1.5 miles west of Cottonwood Falls in the center of the scenic Flint Hills region of Kansas. The 109-acre lake was constructed in 1954. The lake has a steep to shallow rocky shoreline and shallow mudflats on the upper end. Water clarity is usually very good. Fair to excellent populations of channel catfish, crappie, bluegill, walleye, white bass, largemouth bass, and flathead catfish are found in the lake. Wipers have been recently introduced. Several rocky islands and bursh piles provide a variety of habitats where the angler may locate fish.

Crappie are found close to shore and along the face of the dam. Brush piles and islands are excellent places to look for spawning fish. Channel cats are most often caught from June through Sept. off the face of the dam and the fishing piers. Excellent catfish can be had by fishing the feeder creek after a heavy rain. The best places to look for largemouth bass is in the shallow corners of the dama nd other shallow shorelines near a drop-off. |
| Season Dates: |
The best crappie fishing usually occurs in April and May during the spawning period. Largemouth bass fishing peaks during mid to late May when the fish move into shallow water to spawn. |
