Lake Conditions – The lake is stained up the rivers and lightly stained in the remainder of the lake.  

Lake Water Temperature – 62-65 degrees.

Largemouth Bass – FAIR – The fish are in shallow water in the creeks and coves feeding on shad and bream as water temperature continues to have drop. Small crankbaits (Shad Raps/Rat-L-Traps, square billed) and topwater plugs and buzzbaits will take fish in the larger coves and creeks around large schools of shad. The fish are hard to pattern now and look for the shad to begin moving out of the pockets and coves with the dropping water temperature.

Crappie –GOOD –The crappie are now staging in the mouths of major creeks (Lick and Sugar Creeks) where trolling jigs and minnows is now your best option.

Hybrid/Striped/White Bass –GOOD – Fishing is better now as the water temperature dropped over the last several days and the fish are now feeding actively on shad. Fish can be found anywhere in the mid lake area and in the mouths of larger coves around schools of shad. Live shad has been the best bait.

Catfish – NO REPORT.
