Lake Conditions – The lake has some light stain but many areas are clear.

Lake Water Temperature – 87-89 degrees and the continued heat is slowing the fishing.

Largemouth Bass – FAIR/GOOD – Some fish remain shallow but many are now deeper in the water column (8-22 feet) especially after the sun is out each day. Good lure choices for the shallow fish at first light are buzzbaits,small crankbaits (Shad Raps, Rat-L-Traps) and soft plastics (Texas rigs and Carolina rigs). For those fish that have moved deeper, a Carolina rigged plastic or deep diving crankbait (Strike King 5XD/6XD, Deep Little N) will catch those fish. Concentrate on points, humps and ledges. Some fish are hitting spoons mixed in with hybrids/stripers near the dam.

Crappie – GOOD/FAIR -The crappie has moved to their summertime locations around underwater trees and brushpiles where jigs and minnows will catch those fish. Deeper docks are producing some fish for those anglers shooting docks.

Striped Bass/White Bass/Hybrid Bass – FAIR/GOOD – The fish have relocated around humps and ledges on the south end of the lake. Live bait and spoons are the best choices.

Catfish – GOOD – The catfish have moved back to the main lake and major creeks after spawning. Cut bait (bream and shad) and live bait (bream and shad) are the best baits.
