Sahoma has A LOT of stunted crappie with very few big fish caught. it's a small shallow lake but has a nice ramp and on site bait and snack shop. For me it's a nice place to go launch and feel a tug on the line if I only have a couple hours to fish. the visibility is usually a couple feet unless it's been raining. It has both black and white crappie. Tom the lake caretaker is a great guy and always willing to tell you where they're biting and on what though his reports are often only as accurate as I am honest when I'm giving him the info.

VH have you been out there since Tom Chandler took over? He actually has the shop open when it's scheduled to be open unlike the last lady that ran it. He didn't have minnows while they were adding on to the building but had worms and an assortment of hand tied jigs as well as plastics sinkers, hooks, bobbers, etc. Now the add on is up and he has minnow tanks inside the main building instead of out in the shed where he couldn't regulate the temperatures. There will be times the shop is closed for a few minutes while he is up at Pretty Water checking licenses and things since he is pretty much a 1 man show but I can't say enough good things about how he has turned that place around over the last few years. Now if the city would quit draining the lake every couple of years it might turn into a nice fishery.

NO problem .There used to be bait shops out around Heyburn , but the ones out that way now don't always have bait.

Caught 25 in a couple hours at the most. All in 14" FOW in brush. BF 13.75 inches. First time on Heyburn in years. Pleasantly surprised.

Used to have some of the biggest fish in it. Look at the past gill net surveys. I was able to catch 3-6 biguns a day with no small fish. dinobot has got me thinking it may cycled thru and it be worth fishing again! Maybe I can make use of the 20+ piles I put in that lake years ago. 2 problems with that lake tho. 1 mercury levels 2 its always low visibility.

It's still a dink factory with an occasional keeper. About a 10 dink to one keeper ratio when I fished it last November. You hid those brush piles well Fishers!
