Report by: Clint's Bait and Tackle  

The report this week is very short because we all know there has been a lot of water.

 Well the res is way up and so is everything else around here but they are still catching fish. Just that everyone has been fishing for channels and flatheads so the crappie and other fish are getting a rest for a few days. The res is up about 10 feet and they have not opened the tubes yet. They surely will but have no idea when.

We are open 7 days a week and have a full line of bait and tackle for your fishing needs. We also have the city permits for fishing and for your boat. Plus we have the state license. For fishing.
