WACONDA LAKE, OTHERWISE KNOWN AS "GLEN ELDER" OR "GLEN" FOR SHORT, AT OVER 12,500 SURFACE ACRES IT IS KANSAS'S SECOND LARGEST WATERBODY AND IS FED BY BOTH THE NORTH FORK AND SOUTH FORK SOLOMON RIVER SYSTEMS. AS WITH MANY OTHER WESTERN KANSAS WATERBODIES, GLEN HAS SECTIONS OF THE LAKE WITH AN ABUNDANT AMOUTH OF ROCK THAT SMALLIES ALWAYS RELATE TO.​​

​​

GLEN IS NOT TOUTED TO BE AN AMAZING BASS FISHERY BUT IT HAS PRODUCED ALOT OF QUALITY SMALLIES OVER THE YEARS AND SOME FAIRLY DECENT BASS FISHING AT TIMES. AS WITH ALL OTHER WATERBODIES IN OUR REGION THE  LARGEMOUTH POPULATION EBBS AND FLOWS WITH THE WATER LEVEL AND AVAILABLE COVER.

​

IN RECENT YEARS THE LAKE WAS LOWERED AND MAINTAINED AT 10' BELOW THE FULL POOL LEVEL. THIS WAS DO TO CONSTRUCTION ON THE DAM. SINCE THE WORKS BEEN COMPLETED THE LAKE HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO REACH FULL POOL.​
