The lake held above 90 percent of capacity, and fishing has been good. Bass anglers reported spotted bass biting finesse options in 5 to 30 feet of water. Drop shot, shaky heads, and darter heads have been good options with small plastics in colors of green, brown, and bluegill. Topwater has been effective for spotted bass early in the day with white bass taking topwater as well. White bass have also been going for trolled Kastmasters, white spinners, and small swimbaits. Crappie anglers reported a fair bite using minijigs near shallow water cover. Catfish have been eating cut mackerel, anchovies, and dip bait.
