Water is clear and the temp. is in the high 60's. We didn't get the volume of rain that some other places got, so the lake is in great shape!

Crappie are still being caught in shallow water, but some have moved deeper into 12-14 feet deep. Minnows and jigs are still working. I've weighed crappie over 17 inches long and weighing up to 3 lbs recently.

Some of the bass are still bedding, however they don't all go on and off the their beds at the same time. So fish the beds, and fish 12-15 feet deep too. Creature baits, plastic worms and jigs cast into beds are working, while swim baits in shad colors are working in deeper water.

Bluegill, red ear, and catfish are shallow and biting very well today. With a continuation of warm, stable weather in the forecast for the weekend, it's shaping up to be a good weekend to fish.

Water temp. is 61 degrees. It's crappie time! Crappie are on the banks now and limits are reportedly being caught. You can find crappie up in the creeks and in the back of coves where the warmest water is.

Some of the bass are bedding now. Where the water is clear enough it's possible to sight fish for bedding fish.

I'm starting to hear about quality bluegill being caught. Crappie fishermen are reporting hand sized bluegill being caught on small minnows.
