The early trout bite has been weak, they don’t start biting until after nine in the morning. They seem to like to chase their food preferring jigs, and spoons. Boat Dock Cove on the afternoon of the plant is a sure thing, but everywhere else has been sporadic.
Crappie can be found underneath the Crappie Float in the early morning. They are most often caught using live golden shiners.
The bass have been active chasing swimbaits and dark colored plastics. They can be found lurking around structure.
Catfish continue to be caught throughout the lake. Mackerel, shrimp, and chicken liver are all good choices for catfish.
