The lake held near max capacity, and fishing has been good. Striper went for cut baits and lug worms at Yellowbar, Freeway Cove, and the Marina. Shore anglers did well while soaking baits on the Carolina rig, and boat anglers used flylined baits or light weights while at anchor in 30 to 60 feet of water. The bass bite has been steady for anglers fishing Senkos along bluff walls, and finesse baits worked well on points. Brown, light purple, and green pumpkin have been good color choices. Anglers also reported a good crankbait bite in the mornings and a jerkbait bite after the wind picked up. Catfish ate dip bait, cut sardines, and chicken liver in deeper coves around the lake.
