As of October 18h, 2021 the lake capacity was at 48%. We are now in fall season for bass fishing.  Fall is considered one of the best times for bass fishing ( also spring). Bass will push back shad into the backs of pockets, bay , coves and creek arms. In fall you will want to look for grass as it will hold shad as core from predatory fish. Using lipless crankbaits, chatter baits, swim jigs, flukes and senkos will yield you the best results around the grass. If fishing near rock, try using drop shot, ned rigs, and Texas rig.
The water level is dropping so most cover is now out of water, bit its also producing new spots to fish from the bank. Keep and eye out for new points or creek channels to fish from.

Try fishing slow and on the bottom for bass on cooler days to increase your odds. As water temps cool, bass began to become more lethargic. Trout have been planted on the 27th 3,800lbs. Powerbait has been working very well for them. Further fishign related questions please call the tackle shop ( 805) 688-4040 and ask for Christian.
