BASS
Still getting many reports of 1-3 lb. bass. Dropshotting and texas rigging plastics have been very productive. Morning dawn, margarita mutilator, orange crusher, oxblood, and hologram shad are all great colors. Throwing bigger baits such as zplugs and producer plugs will produce bigger fish. Scroungers, flukes, and zara spooks work well first thing in morning.

TROUT
Trout fishing has been very slow due to warm surface water temperature.

STRIPER
A few small stripers have been reported on cut bait. The shad are starting to come up. Stripers are with bait in 30 ft of water. Trolling scrounger heads with flukes have had some luck. Monty and Auston Walker of Cherry valley (shown in picture above) had a great day landing some nice size stripers using anchovies.

CATFISH
Cat fishing is picking up; producing fish anywhere from 5-10lbs. Anchovies, night crawlers, mackerel and stink baits are your best bet.

PANFISH
Bluegill fishing is still excellent. Many limits reported with mealworms, crickets, and night crawlers. The East dam and all along shore banks have been great areas for bluegill catches.
