Lake Conditions – The main lake is muddy with some clearing in Richland Creek where better fishing success is occurring.

Lake Water Temperature – 52-55 degrees but will drop with this week’s colder weather.

Largemouth Bass – SLOW – The high water and muddy to severely stained water continues to have a negative impact on fishing success. The fish are still in the coves and the creeks and shallow. The docks, seawalls, rip-rap and shoreline woody structure will produce some fish on crankbaits, jigs, Carolina rigs and spinnerbaits. Colder weather this week may drive a good number of fish to deeper water.

Crappie – FAIR – The trolling bite has picked up now with the crappie located in the mouths of large coves and creeks.

Striped Bass/White Bass/Hybrid Bass – FAIR – The water conditions are having a negative impact on angler success but some anglers are beginning to catch fish on spoons near the dam when clearer water could be found.

Catfish – NO REPORT.
