The lake rose to 88 percent of capacity, and anglers reported very good bass fishing. The constantly rising water levels made anglers adapt over the last few months, but a few standout baits continue to boat fish. Stick baits, Ned rigs, drop shot, and crankbaits have all produced well for anglers. Spotted bass have been biting from 5 to 35 feet deep with bigger fish taking baits in deeper water. Anglers reported catching good numbers of smaller spotted bass throughout the lake. Crappie anglers reported decent fishing with small swimbaits and minijigs. A kayak angler reported trolling small crankbaits over submerged brush and trees to score crappie limits. Catfish anglers used cut baits, chicken liver, and dip bait to fool whisker fish.
