Water willow is becoming more abundant around the shoreline in shallow water. This should provide fish habitat and increase the success of anglers who are limited to bank fishing.
Brushpile fish attractors should provide fishing opportunities for both bank and boat anglers.
Largemouth bass fishing should be good. Numbers are excellent and bass >15" are present in low numbers. Stocked channel catfish should provide good fishing. Bluegill fishing will continue to be poor as overall size structure is dominated by fish
Kellogg Lake Description
Kellogg Lake is located east of Carthage off of historic Rt. 66 (96 Hwy). The lake spans 25 acres and the area is open for fishing, hiking, and picnics. Kellogg Lake Recreation Area is located at the northeast corner of the Carthage city limits between Highway 96 and the remnant of old Route 66. It has a large scenic lake surrounded by an earthen dam. Adjacent to the lake is a 22-acre park that includes Kellogg Slough. A network of roads surrounds the lake and intersects the park area. Spring River flows along the southwestern border of the lake and under Highway 96. There is a boat launching ramp with a parking area and a fishing jetty at the southeast corner of the lake. Kid’s Fishing Day has become a popular event on the second weekend in June, attracting around 600 participants and offering both educational and recreational opportunities. The board of Kellogg Lake Nature Center and Preserve has partnered with the Missouri Department of Conservation to conduct this community activity for the past five years.
