Report by Sports Cache Bait & Tackle  

Water Level: At full pool.
Water Temperature: 58 degrees F.
Turbidity: Visibility 18 inches.
Fish Attractors: Not operating.
Fishing Pressure: Moderate through the week, heavier during weekends.

Channel Catfish: A few are being caught on shad sides and night-crawlers.

Crappie: Varies from "slow" to "good" depending on location and time of day. Crappie are in shallow water near shore in the evenings, but favor deeper water during the day. Early mornings may also be good, but no reports thus far. Fish are abundant and bite readily in the evening. Most are small white crappie 6-7 inches in length. Live minnows and 1/32 oz. jigs or curl tails have been productive.

Flathead Catfish: None reported. Try goldfish or small green sunfish.

Bluegill Sunfish: Good. Are abundant near shore and eagerly taking bits of night-crawler or small jigs and artificial baits.

Green Sunfish: Good. Are close to shore and taking the same baits and lures as bluegill. Most are small, but make good bait for big flathead.

Common Carp: One thirty pounder reported this week was taken on night-crawler. Fermented whole kernel corn is also an excellent bait for these fish.

White Amur: None reported. Fermented corn is an excellent bait for these fish. A few are taken on night-crawlers.
