McKay Reservoir is about 50 percent full. Anglers have been catching primarily crappie and perch. Try fishing in 15-25 feet of water for larger crappie.

On June 6th, district staff sampled McKay Reservoir. Our catch was composed of primarily yellow perch, followed by carp and crappie. The yellow perch that we collected had an average length of 7 inches and a max length of 9 inches. The crappie that we collected had an average length of 6 inches and a max length of 10 inches. While we did not catch high numbers of bass, we did find largemouth and smallmouth bass with lengths exceeding 20 inches.
