The lake rose to 54 percent of capacity, and conditions have been tough with wind and debris periodically closing the lake to launching. Luckily shore anglers reported good striper and trout fishing. Recent reports indicate that water conditions have improved. Trout anglers reported steady fishing near the marina while using dough bait, minijigs, pinched crawlers, and Kastmasters. Big bait anglers used large trout imitations to fool trophy bass and striper last week, and a double-digit bucket-mouth was reported by one lucky angler. Striper also ate cut baits, bloodworms, and nightcrawlers. Trollers fooled fish with flies and umbrella rigs. The bass were a bit tougher, and anglers used finesse baits in 10 to 30 feet of water to get bite. Drop shot, Ned rigs, and shaky heads all worked for bites on a slow retrieve. Catfish anglers fooled fish with chicken liver, dip bait, and cut baits.
