The lake held near 27 percent of capacity, and fishing has been excellent. Spotted bass fell for just about any finesse bait in 5 to 20 feet of water. Small swimbaits, drop shot, and darter head jigs were some of the best techniques. Topwater has been good early in the day with most angler going deeper as the water warms up. White bass chased shad in coves, and anglers got bit on white swimbaits, topwater, and spoons. Crappie fell for minijigs in 15 feet of water over structure, and catfish ate mackerel, sardines, and chicken liver.
