Report by: Clint's Bait and Tackle  

Hello to everyone. Sorry we haven't hade a report up for a couple weeks, but the way the rain has been it was hard to tell what all was going on. This report may be some different from the usual but so has everything this last few weeks.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
As of right now all types of fish have been doing well if you go after them. The city lake has been getting hit pretty good because the Res has been so high. The Res was 12 foot above the regular pool for this time of year and made fishing a little hard. But the ones that got out and fished it said they was still there but you had to look for them. The city lake is full but not like the res. They are all biting on their usual baits and we have seen some nice fish. The large flatheads still haven't been moving like they sometimes do but have had a few caught. They are really dumping water at the
res. It is still about 6 foot above pool but fishable.
---------------------------------------------------------------------

We are open 7 days a week and carry a complete line of bait and tackle for all of your fishing needs. We also can give you the latest on what the fish are doing. As most of you know, if we aren't in the shop when you need us for something all you have to do is walk across the street and get us.
