Fishing Lake Chaffee

Words from a Neighbor

Professional bassmaster and neighbor Mike Belliveu (29 Circle Drive) recent wrote, "Lake Chaffee is an excellent fishery, with a healthy population of Largemouth Bass, Black Crappie, Chain Pickerel and Yellow Perch. The Largemouth bass average in the 2 pound class, with larger fish in the 4 to 6 pound class being common.

"We should all do our best to practice Catch and Release, a good photo of your catch is all one needs to remember the fun of fishing."

Fisherman's Pride


Mike Belliveau with a 4.2 lb. Largemouth Bass caught on a texas rigged "Lake Fork Tube Craw". This quality bass was caught on the east bank of the south west cove in six inches of water, the bass was hiding under a floating mat of weeds ready to ambush its prey. This bass was released back into the lake. When fishing on Lake Chaffee and other bodies of water, Catch and Release should be practiced so that the lake remains a viable fishery for our children and grandchildren.(8/11)

Nathan Cutler, Grandson of Mike Belliveau - 29 Circle Drive, with a healthy looking Black Crappie, caught on a "Lucky Craft G-Splash American Shad topwater popper", at the north end to the two islands. Nathan released the fish back into the lake. (7/11)
