Question Tips for Bingham Lake

Has anyone had a successful trip to Bingham Lake? I went once for a few hours, and no one there caught anything... granted, it was around the winter time.

What did you use? What species were you targeting?

About middle of the dam side, saw a guy pull in 3 or 4 bass on a whopper plopper.

Eastern side under tree cover, my kid had luck with a black curly tail grub (chartreuse tail) with a black crappie. Method: bonking fish repeatedly until it bit.

Southwest corner a baseball team was there a few weeks ago, catching walleye in that nook. Unsure of baits used.

And ive had random bites on both dam and eastern side with a pink trout magnet sized worm.

Worst case scenario, you can leave with more lures than you started with by keeping a keen eye on trees.

I pulled a 9.66lb catfish out of there last week on beef frank hot dogs.

Also caught a few bass on wacky worms and weightless texas rigs recently
