Comments: If you like fihing vegetation and clear water, Talpa City is the place to go. Small largemouth bass are abundant, but there are typically enough 3 to 6 pound bass to make fishing really exciting. Rat-L-Traps and spinner baits in the early spring are effective for largemouth bass. When vegetation gets thick, surface lures and plastic worms are good choices. This is an excellent float-tube lake. Bluegill are abundant and can be easily caught from the shore, but public shore fishing access is limited to the area around the dam and spillway. Channel catfish abundance is unknown, but this type of lake typically produces quality-sized catfish. | |
