Crappie: Good to excellent. Crappie are staging in several parts of the lake and some males have turned black, their breeding color. Evenings and mornings seem best and live minnows or jigs are the best baits. Most are small white crappie 6-7 inches in length.

Flathead Catfish: One 42-pounder reported this week. It was caught at night on green sunfish.

Bluegill Sunfish: Good. Bluegills are abundant near shore and eagerly taking bits of night crawler, crickets or small jigs and artificial baits.

Green Sunfish: Good. Sunfish are close to shore and taking night-crawler bits, jigs, tiny lures and insects like mealworms. Most are small, but make good bait for big flathead.

Common Carp: Good. Very few fishermen fish for carp, but large ones are available to be caught. Fermented corn, dough baits and night-crawlers are useful baits.

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