Hot, hot, hot that is what the anglers are saying about the Striper bit. Using Anchovies and fishing near the dam has been bringing in the limits. The trout are still hanging out at about 35 to 40 feet at the dam. One angler reported catching his limit trolling a Needle fish. If the largemouth bass is what you are looking for, try the early morning and the late afternoon around the downed trees and cattails. The catfish bit is going strong and using the catfish power bait or chicken livers will bring them in. Fishing along the coves and the south end of the lake has been the best for catfish.

Rate the action based over the past week:
Bass: Good
Bluegill: Fair
Carp: Fair
Catfish: Excellent
Crappie: Fair
Striper: Excellent
Trout: Fair
