Large mouth bass are still good and these fish can still be caught with Texas rigged worms, yum dingers and Carolina rigs. Try moss flats, standing timber and points for best results. Roostertails, top water spooks and boy howdies are still effective on wind blown points and pockets. Walleye are fair with reports of these fish still being caught on or near main lake points. White or chrome jerk baits and rattle traps have been the most effective in water depths of 8 – 15 feet.

Stripers are very good on live bait, buck-tail jigs or top water C-10 redfins. These fish are still located around main lake points and rock bluffs near or in the river channels on all sections of the lake.

Bream are still excellent and are being caught around structure with small jigs, crickets or worms. These fish are moving up to spawn.

Crappie are fair and being caught over brush piles and moss flats using feather jigs, 2” grubs and minnows. Try pockets and large moss flats 8 - 15 feet deep. The best colors are still white, silver and tennesee shad.

Catfish are still excellent and being caught on cut bait, night-crawlers and live bait. Try pockets and moss flats 10 – 15 feet deep.
