Popular Fish Species Mosquito Creek Lake, OH

Largemouth Bass

Current Report: Fair To Good
Outlook: Good

Located within Mosquito Lake State Park, Mosquito Creek Lake has a decent population of largemouth bass thrives in this mostly-shallow lake. The deeper water is at the south end of the lake from Imagination Station Park to the Mosquito Creek Dam. Locals report good bass fishing around weeds and brush in shallow water. When the bass move deep, drop shot rigs are popular here.

Black Crappie

Uncle Buck's Panfish Creatures Curly Tail Minnow Rigged

Current Report: Good
Outlook: Good To Very Good

Locals report crappie fishing at Mosquito Creek Lake is better than most lakes within a 75 mile radius. Spring is the premiere time to be on the water as crappie move into shallow coves to spawn. Docks, brush, wood, vegetation are a good place to cast small crappie jigs or live minnows. Light tackle with 4-pound line is ideal. Locals use fish finders to locate schools of crappie, which tend to stack vertically around cover. In spring and fall focus on the 5 to 10 foot range.

Walleye

Current Report: Fair To Good
Outlook: Fair To Good

Mosquito Creek Lake has very subtle depth changes, virtually creating flat areas at any depth the walleye prefer. Fishing at dusk, through the night into dawn can really enhance the chance of catching a trophy walleye here. Trolling deep-diving crankbaits, like the Bandit works well, as does drifting with jigs - ideally tipped with worms or minnows.
