Awesome! The fish bite all the time the only bad part is they are pretty small and a lot of bluegill. Its best off the shore. You can catch alot of bullhead some channel alot of bluegill some crappie if lucky, and my friend caught about a 1 1 ft - 2ft bass here

Finally caught fish here. Now they bite. Crappie are biting in May once the waters warm up. They are jumping all over the place and sometimes bite. Still a difficult lake to fish. Caught 8 crappie 1 bluegill total for 2days.

I went to Tampier last year and it was terrible...no bites....this year however I went once and caught a bunch of catfish. My friend caught about an 18 inch catfish that was a great size. It hit or miss here.

Ive been fishing this lake my entire life. I had one good day for largemouth, and ive only caught two decent sized walleye throughout this lake, that includes from boat and shore. As for the northerns, ive seen them, had one on, but there is not many. Its way way way too heavily pressured and most people keep what they catch "poaching" or because its such a family area, small children let fish swallow hooks. unfortunate but true.honestly i would say go somewhere else. The stocking program is poor to the extreme, if at all still existent. shame, it could be a good lake... OH YAH DNR get out there, cause i am willing to bet three quarters of the people out there dont have a licesne.

Its my favorite place to fish! But however it is hit or miss, sometimes I go a year without catching anything worth talking about. I seem to have found a lucky spot and early morning or late evening it never fails. The bass that I catch here are at least 12" - 18" every time and one that was 21". Please "catch and release"!!

I have never caught a single fish here in fifteen years. I always swear I will never go back and then someone tells me about Walleyes biting like crazy or Northerns going after everything. We always go and feel very disappointed. It's clean and there is a bait shop at the boat launch which is pointless because you only need one worm with no fish biting.

The fishing is OK. It's over fished. Too many people take what they catch. If your fishing from shore, good luck. Your better off renting a boat
