I fished pretty much every piece of rock on the dam end of the lake including the dam and the rip rap around the power plant. The bites were few and far between but when they came they were big! We caught just over 20 pounds for our best 5 and every fish came on the wart. Getting your bait down quick and varying your retrieve was the key.

La Cygne Lake in Kansas is a Power Plant Lake which has 60-degree water coming out of the discharge. This makes the overall lake water temp 15 degrees higher than surroundings lakes in Kansas and Missouri. The coldest water I found in my 7-hour fishing day was 43 degrees. I started out on the face of the damn with a crankbait and A-rig, and just wasn’t seeing the fish on my forward-facing sonar. I moved to several areas throughout the lake that have produced for me over the last 25 years of fishing this lake (mostly underwater rock piles) and still no bass. I moved to a main lake channel swing and quickly started catching bass on the Luck E Strike STX jerk bait. Eight out of the Ten bass a boated were suspended directly over stumps located in 13’ – 8’ of water. Only five of my ten bass were keepers (must be 18”) but catching a January limit in Kansas…I will take it.
