LaDue Reservoir

Tucked into Ohio, United States, LaDue Reservoir is a reservoir that fishes differently season to season. Spring brings fish into the shallows to spawn or feed on early baitfish; midsummer pushes them to cooler, deeper water; autumn turns them aggressive again as they pack on weight before winter. Anglers planning a trip to LaDue Reservoir should check water temperature and recent weather — a sudden cold front can shut a reservoir like this down for a day.

Fishing Techniques

• For Largemouth bass

  Vary your retrieve speed and lure presentation until you find what the bass are keying on, as their preferences can change daily based on weather and water conditions.

• For Channel catfish

  Fish near structure like submerged trees or rocks, as channel catfish often use these areas for ambush points and shelter.

• For White perch

  White perch often school, so if you catch one, stay in that area to find more. Vary your retrieve speed until you find what they prefer.
