    Default Sam Parr?


    I've driven past Sam Parr dozens of times but never fished there. Anybody have info on this lake? Any species would be great.

    Here is some info I found on the IDNR website.
    Let's see if this works.......

    Lake Profile -- SAM PARR LAKE

    They claim to have stocked Channel cats, Bluegill and LM bass!
    Hope this helps. Lotsa luck!

    Fished this lake from 1985 to 2006 or 2007ish....was a great fishery till someone put gizzard shad in there.... Ruined the lake IMO....Went back and fished for a day in 2011 and all were small... Was a great redear/bluegill lake but redear are far and few.... Haven't been back since.... So not sure how lake has been since....

    My brother in law and his wife ran the bait shop in Robinson. They always said that the customers used to report good fishing there.

    Fished It in 2013 or 2014. It was closest campground to Newton Lake. I was all about bass at the time Newton was slow and seemed far from this lake. Campground was decent we were only ones there. It had electric but only pit toilets. Fished part on the Sunday before we left in boat. Got nothing lot of Marks on locator.
    I was into bass at the time and not good at crappie fishing. I threw
    some jigs too. Lake looked nice but got nothing I was only one out there
    it was a cold time of year I forget spring or fall. Water looked dark or dirty
    A good test might be to go same time other lakes are fishing good by you or trusted reports or late April early may if other lakes are doing good
