The bite has been slow ever since the change in weather, and fishing has begun to slow down here at the lake. People who have been catching are doing so off of garlic night crawlers and red worms, mostly netting small mouth and pan fish. The bite is best mid day or in the morning, with little luck at night or in the evenings.

Water temperature: 67 degrees
