Fish Report for 4-25-2024

The lake has warmed somewhat and the Spots are moving into the shallows to spawn

4-25-2024
The Fly Shop

The lake has warmed somewhat and the Spots are moving into the shallows to spawn. Fish are coming to Float N' Flys and Balanced Leeches. Fish towards the banks with a crayfish-colored Balanced Leech or a Shad Float N' Fly and watch for your indicator to tip. A sinking line fished toward the shore so you can bounce a crawdad pattern down the banks will also be effective. Bounce a Concussion Cray, Jiggy Worm or Grim Reaper on the rocks and the spots will swoop it up.

Hot Flies: 

• Wooly Buggers
• Float-n-Flies
• Dead Drop Minnow
• Zack's Stillwater Balanced Leech
