The main lake is closed until June 3rd for the music festival

Chad Burton and Chris Borden

The main lake is closed until June 3rd for the music festival and small lake remains open until further notice, but it will close as the festival nears. Fishing has been steady at BV with bass, catfish, and crappie biting. Catfish anglers used Triple S dip bait, cut baits, and nightcrawlers to land plenty of smaller fish. A few good-sized cats were also reported. Bass bit weightless Senkos, Texas rigged lizards, and jigs near the cattails. Finesse bait anglers caught fish in shallow water on the south side of the lake, and crankbaits fooled bass near submerged structure. Crappie bite Get Bent Minijigs tipped with crappie nibbles and small live minnows.
