The lake level was 30 percent of capacity last week, and anglers reported good fishing for all species. Large and smallmouth fell for a variety of baits including crankbaits, finesse baits, and spoons. Shad patterned crankbaits saw some action in the mornings, and most angler switched to Senkos, drop shot, or Ned rigs mid-day. Spoons have been working for anglers who find a school of bass holding deeper on main lake points and submerged humps. Most of the bass have been holding in 10 to 35 feet of water. Striper fishing was excellent for anglers hunting larger models with magnum sized swimbaits. Lunker Punkers, glide baits, and Huddlestons all produced striper up to 20 pounds. The key to hooking up on the big fish has been to throw the big baits all day. Striper also went for umbrella rigs, trolled flies, and cut baits. Catfish anglers reported decent fishing while using garlic scented nightcrawlers, chicken liver, and cut baits. The lake saw another trout plant this week, and anglers reported easy limits using dough baits, minijigs, and Mousetails.
