Lake Conditions – The lake is clear to lightly stained.

Lake Water Temperature – 88-90 degrees

Largemouth Bass – FAIR/GOOD – Two patterns are working now. One pattern will work early in the day until the bright sun is out or late in the day. That pattern consists primarily of fishing the deep docks with a shakey head or Trick worm worked under the dock or in the shade of deeper docks. Some bites are coming at first light on topwater plugs. After the sun is out move to deeper water (8-18 feet) like humps and ledges down lake and use a Carolina rigged Trick worm or cast a deep diving crankbait. The rip-rap at the bridges might get you a strike on a crankbait when current is present.

Crappie – GOOD –The crappie have migrated back to brushpiles and underwater timber in deeper water. Trolling jigs over timber and fishing jigs/ minnows over and in the timber will catch fish now.

Striped Bass/White Bass/Hybrid Bass – Good – The fish have moved to the humps and points in the main lake. Trolling umbrella rigs will produce the best fish in those locations. You might want to try for schooling surface feeding fish during the first couple hours of daylight using a popping cork. Fish will also bite a crankbait (Strike Kink 5XD/6XD) on the ledges and humps when current is present.

Catfish – GOOD – The catfish have moved to main lake/creek ledges and channels and those will be good locations throughout the summer months. Live bait (shad/bream) and cut bait (shad/bream) are good choices to catch larger fish.
