Report by Sports Cache Bait & Tackle  

Water Level: One foot below full pool.
Water Temperature: 60 degrees F.
Turbidity: Visibility 24 inches.
Fish Attractors: Not in service due to vandalism.
Fishing Pressure: Moderate through the week, heavier during weekends.

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

Crappie: Varies from "slow" to "good" depending on location and time of day. Fish are abundant and bite readily at times. They seem to return to deep water at other times. 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: Good. Several reports of large carp biting, but not all are landed. All have been taken on night crawlers so far. 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.
