Tri City Lake Fishing in Boone County, Missouri
Centralia Area

Tri City is close to my home in Centralia. I fished there quite a few times last summer (2009) I was still catching small 1-2 lb. channel cat in November. Like any lake you just have to find the right spot. Do a little walking if your on foot. The largest fish I caught last year was a 5.25 lb. channel cat. But I know there are several in there bigger than that. If you just want to have fun ive seen carp in there that must be at least 4 feet long monsters. If you can get that on the bank your doing something! I mostly use homemade dough bait, they seem to like it well enough. Ive caught only one flathead out of there but that was probably luck anyway. they dont usually go for my dough bait. Just channels and blues. Havent caught any blues from there. But did catch one small yellow bullhead! that was a suprise. he was about a pound. Ive seen some good sized bass pulled out of there and have heard of 20 lb. plus cats bein pulled out. Anyway if you find a good spot you should catch a few fish. I wouldnt suggest worms. Although I have used them and caught small channels in there, what I usually catch is Bluegill. There are some good size blugill in there. Good Luck

fish are few and far between. I live in centralia and fish this lake a lot. There are some nice fish in it. Ive caught bass, crappie, and cats.
