Beaver Lake: As of Wednesday, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers reports the lakes elevation at 1,105.39 feet MSL.

J.T. Crappie Guide Services said the water is low and very clear.

Crappie are biting well in 15 to 20 feet of water on chartreuse-and-red tube jigs and minnows.

Stripers are slow, but a few have been taken on large shad or shiners where the river arms meet the main lake body. Bass have been fair to good lately.

Most of the bass are holding near bluffs and biting vertically jigged spoons or jerkbaits cast parallel to the rocks. A few fish have been taken off submerged cedar trees as well.
