Driving directions: From I-70 east of Blue Springs, take the Adams Dairy Parkway exit north to the frontage road (NE Jefferson Street), and turn east to the lake. This is a 54-acre lake and anglers will find an expansive paved parking lot on the dam, along with good fishing for a variety of species. Anglers can carry in small jon boats with electric motors, canoes, and kayaks, but the use of belly boats or wading the shoreline is not allowed by the City of Blue Springs. An all-weather trail provides access to the entire shoreline and a disabled accessible dock was constructed by the City of Blue Springs in conjunction with MDC along the east shoreline.
Annual Prospects Report
This is a 54-acre lake and anglers will find an expansive paved parking lot on the dam, along with good fishing for a variety of species. Anglers can carry in small johnboats with electric motors, canoes, and kayaks, however; the use of belly boats or wading along the shoreline is not allowed by the City of Blue Springs. An all-weather trail provides access to the entire shoreline and a disabled accessible dock along the east shoreline was constructed by the City of Blue Springs in conjunction with MDC. A small parking lot with a trail to the upper end of the lake can be accessed from Duncan Road on the north side of the lake.
Largemouth bass fishing should continue to be fair for both legal (greater-than 15-inches) and sublegal (less-than 15-inches) fish. Previous sampling shows a low density bass population. Try fishing with spinnerbaits, crankbaits, and soft plastics around timber, emergent vegetation, and submerged weed edges should result in some success for bass anglers.
Lake Remembrance typically provides plenty for panfish. Bluegill fishing should be good with fish up to 7-inches in length. These fish have excellent body condition which will make them ready and able to bend a rod. Try fishing areas near vegetation such as the water lily beds along the east shoreline. Be sure to bring nightcrawlers or crickets to ensure plenty of bites. Small jigs and spinnerbaits also work well if you prefer artificial baits. Redear sunfish are not as common as the bluegill, yet they are nice-sized. Previous sampling shows several fish greater than 8 inches. To catch redear sunfish, fish the bottom near cover and try using a small jig tipped with a little piece of worm fished along the bottom.
Finally, channel catfish add another dimension to this fishery. Yearly stockings of 8 to 12-inch channel catfish should provide good year-round fishing. Catfish anglers should try stinkbaits, chicken liver, or fresh cut baits and fish from the jetties and the dam.
