Pyramid remained at 90 percent of capacity, and water temperatures have been in the upper seventies and low eighties. Lake staff stated that the lake was recently treated to control algae and all water contact and eating of fish should be avoided. Striped bass took small swimbaits, topwater, and Kastmasters during the morning boils, and they ate cut baits near Yellowbar and the Marina the rest of the day. Trolling A-rigs has also been an effective tactic. Bass anglers reported good fishing on Whopper Ploppers, poppers, and walking baits early in the day. Anglers switched to finesse baits and jigs after the sun got hot. Weed beds have provided a reliable place to fish Texas rigs and jigs. Senkos worked well this week in 2 to 10-feet of water. Catfish anglers used cut sardines, chicken liver, and dip bait in deeper coves around the lake for good results.
