Cypress Lake Description

This 95-acre lake is located on Otter Slough Conservation Area, near Dexter. Most anglers target sunfish. Redear sunfish and bluegill are abundant; redear will average 6-7" and bluegill 5-6". Channel catfish angling should continue to be excellent. Fish averaged 13-16", with numerous fish greater than 20". Largemouth bass angling will continue to be excellent, with many fish 12-20". Bass anglers report catching fish in excess of 20". A 15-inch minimum length limit is in effect. This regulation will allow more small bass to remain in the lake to feed on small bluegill, thereby improving bluegill and redear sunfish growth rates. Black crappie are low in abundance but average 10". The lake has numerous brush piles. A disabled-accessible fishing dock and boat ramp are located on the lake. The lake is closed from Oct. 15 to Feb. 1 as a waterfowl refuge.
