The lake held near 93 percent of its storage capacity, and surface temperatures were near 80 degrees. Bass fishing remained good with many local anglers reporting high numbers of both large and smallmouth. Most anglers have settled into a reliable pattern of topwater and finesse fishing. The topwater bite has been decent on small walking baits and poppers. Drop shot, Ned rigs, and Carolina rigged C3 baits have been scoring good numbers too. Green, brown, and purple colors all worked at different times and locations around the lake. Bass held in 10 to 30 feet of water off main lake points and near rocky structure. Schools of 2-to-3-pound striper have been feeding on baitfish in the mornings evenings, so keep a topwater lure, spoon, or weightless fluke handy. Trolling flies produced a few better grade striper over main lake points. Catfish anglers reported decent fishing using anchovies, dip bait, and chicken liver in deeper coves around the lake.
