If you head out on the water with chicken liver you will keep pulling in the stripers and catfish. Fishing along the shoreline around the lake will continue to keep you satisfied. Do not be scared to go big with the bait. Go big and go home with the big one. The dam has been pretty constant when fishing for trout. The fish will practically jump into your boat when you see them boiling. Throw out some white and green power eggs. I asked for your input on smallies and big mouths and you answered. Small mouth bass are hitting nicely on the far side of the first set of narrows. Thank you for recognizing our request and for stopping by the Marina with your fish tails.

Bass: Good

Powerbait grubs are the way to go, mini crawlers would also be sufficient (try the narrows and the small "No Name Cove" to...... Read More
