Banner Lake North's best angling opportunity is for largemouth bass. Most fish captured during the 2018 survey were between 8- and 14-inches, but larger individuals are present. Bluegill, black crappie and white crappie are available, but mostly at sizes not preferred by anglers. Bluegills over 6 inches and crappies over 9 inches are rare. (2019)
