Large mouth bass are fair and these fish can be caught with frog style baits and grass jigs. Try moss flats and points for best results. Texas rigged worms; grape, strawberry and red bug colors are still working well fished after dark on main lake and secondary points.

Walleye are fair with reports of these fish still being caught near brush piles on main lake points. Silver jigging spoons are working best in water depths 25 – 35 feet deep.

Stripers are fair on live bait; gizzard shad or big trot-line minnows are still the bait of choice. 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 very good and are being caught around structure with crickets or worms. Try main lake and secondary points 20 – 28 feet deep.

Crappie are very slow and being caught over brush piles. Try deep pockets and standing timber 18 - 35 feet deep. Minnows or jigging spoons seem to work best.

Catfish are good and being caught on cut bait, night-crawlers and live bait. Try pockets and moss flats 15 – 25 feet deep.
