Large mouth bass are god and these fish can be caught with frog style baits and grass jigs. Try moss flats and points for best results. Spotted bass are very good on live crawfish fished near brush 20 – 28 feet deep.

Walleye are still very good 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 located around main lake points and rock bluffs near or in the river channels on eastern end of the lake. A few reports of schooling action are being reported.

Bream are slow to fair and are being caught around structure with crickets or worms. Try main lake and secondary points 20 – 28 feet deep.

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