Inflow: 2240 cfs Outflow: 1251 cfs Level: 0.78 feet high

Largemouth Bass fair (18" length limit) 

 Crappie  Fair to Good are spawning in Marina Cove and Osage Cove in the state park area. There are still fish showing up from the Cawker causeway area as well, especially under the bridge. try fishing minnows under a bobber or casting small tube jigs under a bobber near the spawning grounds.

White Bass  Good Trolling around the Cawker causeway and Granite creek bridge area has been very productive. In addition, anglers have been doing very well using minnows and night crawlers fished on the bottom in these areas  

Wipers  Fair to Good   On days with a south wind, the wipers have been concentrated in Marina Cove near the back end and along the west bank.  

Walleye Fair to Good  The walleye have moved west and Fishing the rock piles, stump beds, humps, and drops on the flats in 6-10 feet of water.  

Smallmouth Bass Good  This is an excellent time to catch some bronze backs. The males are probably still sitting on their nests so they will be very aggressive if you can find them. Try using a variety of crankbaits, spinnerbaits, and soft plastics along the dam, in Osage and Marina Coves, and along the bluffs throughout the day.  

Channel Catfish Good  Granite Creek, and around Carr Creek Trotlines baited with goldfish, crayfish, and shad sides seem to be working best. The spawn is approaching and the channels are beginning to congregate along the rocky

Lake Elevation at Normal Pool: 1463.0 Temperature: 75

Inflow: 95 cfs Outflow: 123 cfs Level:3.48 feet high

Channel Catfish  good  worms or cut bait might work better on the windy side of the lake - the muddy stirred up water seems to get them going.  

Crappie fair  spawning mode is winding down in and around the marina cove, along the dam, and up around Yankee Run docks were pretty good for awhile. Small tube jigs under a bobber is what most are using.  

Walleye/Saugeye good  they are catching fish on the flats - in the Bluff Creek area, on the north side, and along the south bank. Jig-n-worm is the best bait when they get up on the flats but shad type crankbaits will work too if you want to troll.  

White Bass fair  try them off the windy points as they should be starting to school on baitfish soon. Small white twister tail jigs, roadrunner, or spinners are good baits now

 Wipers fair  on the bottom on worms on the south side. worms, liver, or crawdads fished on the bottom - just like catfish. The wipers should move up onto the windblown points - get those buck tail jigs or shad type crank baits in the water.
