Longview Lake (KC Region)Information: (816) 655-6250 Walleye fishing at Longview seemed to improve in 2005. Spring survey numbers were the highest they have been in the last 8 years. We hope to again stock 46,500 walleye fingerlings in the summer of 2006. Largemouth bass numbers are continuing to improve at Longview. Anglers are reporting better fishing with many nice sized fish being caught. Anglers should concentrate on the vegetation and woody cover in Pittenger Cove, on the west side of the lake, during the spring, for their best chance at catching some nice bass at Longview. Crappie fishing should be about the same, as years past, with several nice fish being caught, but an abundance of smaller fish will be caught as well. In the spring of the year anglers should concentrate fishing efforts near the gravel banks. Many nice white crappie were caught in the spring of 2005 along these banks. Channel catfish numbers remain extremely high, but the average size will be a pound or less. Nightcrawlers and prepared bait fished on shallow flats works well for channel cats. The high densities of channel catfish will provide plenty of good summer fishing. Anglers are encouraged to harvest their daily limit of 10 channel catfish. Flathead Catfish have been stocked into Longview the past three years. Many of the fish have been tagged so that biologists can monitor the success and growth rates of the flatheads. White bass are fairly abundant and can often be caught by fishing along windblown banks or points in late summer and early fall. Carp provide good fishing opportunities at Longview. Fish for carp with small single hooks and small chunks of dough bait. Report FromMDC
