Fishing has been excellent

The lake level fell to 82 percent of its storage capacity, and fishing has been excellent. Spotted bass remained the best bet with anglers scoring good numbers of the hard fighting bass. Topwater was the most fun way to get bitten, but finesse baits, Senkos, and small swimbaits produced as well. Dark green, brown, and baitfish were excellent color choices, but color choice remains somewhat irrelevant. White bass took topwater, white swimbaits, small flukes, and spoons, and crappie ate live minnows, live worms, and minijigs readily. Catfishing has been good for anglers soaking cut mackerel, dip bait, and chicken liver.
