Fall is here! Water will start to cool down and the bite will be a little different. Bass still schooled up chasing bait fish, but the senko and dropshot has been producing nice sized fish in good numbers!

Crappie and bluegill are hitting on rappie jigs with a crappie nibble and also floating red worms in the back of those shallow coves.

Trout are starting to come back up towards surface levels in the early mornings being caught on the troll and also being caught drifting near the dam with a suspended night crawler.

Catfish bite is awesome all over the lake!!! Great sized fish upwards of 12 lbs and plenty of those cats caught daily!!!

Water Temperature: 70 degrees
