Laurel Hill has a good population of largemouth...but the lake is not known for lots of big bass such as Williamsport produces. Only in the past 3 or 4 years have shad been in the lake...they are quite prolific there now. For the next few weeks, and on into early summer you will find the largemouth on the grassy points down there chasing schooling shad. As for crappie there are some nice crappie in the lake...however the numbers are not great. TWRA has not stocked Laurel Hill with crappie in years and refuse to do so anymore....they say they don't belong in that small of a lake....yet much smaller lakes at Williamsport are overrun with crappie. If you go in a boat and as you are heading toward the dam.......just as you get out of the no wake zone on the right bank......is a good spot for crappie. If you don't have a boat a lot of crappie are caught off of the T dock there to the right front of concession building...the dock with no rails.
