Report by Sports Cache Bait & Tackle  

Water Level: At full pool.
Water Temperature: 74 degrees F.
Turbidity: Visibility 18 inches.
Fish Attractors: Not in service due to vandalism.
Fishing Pressure: Moderate through the week, heavy during weekends. Very heavy on holidays.

Channel Catfish: Good. Several fishermen report success using poultry liver, night crawlers and Bee Jay. Most are in the two to five pound range, but some are larger.

Crappie: Good to excellent. Crappie are abundant at certain points in the lake. They bite best in the evenings and early mornings. Most are small 6-8 inches. Live minnows or jigs are the best baits.

Flathead Catfish: No reports this week, but not many fishing for them. Most are caught at night on goldfish or green sunfish.

Bluegill Sunfish: Good. Bluegills are abundant near shore and eagerly taking bits of night crawler, crickets or small jigs and artificial baits. Most are less than ¼ pound.

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.
