The lake rose to 88 percent of its storage capacity, and fishing has been steady

The lake rose to 88 percent of its storage capacity, and fishing has been steady. A-rigs, Senkos, and finesse baits took spotted bass in 5 to 25 feet of water. Rising waters kept the bite from going wide open, but that could change soon. Crappie went after small swimbaits and minijigs for anglers who located schools holding over submerged brush. Catfish ate cut anchovies, mackerel, and sardines.
